Praise for The Jig Is Up: “With more surprises than usual, this is a step above much of this genre.” —First Clue Reviews “Sweet, sassy, and smart, Lisa Q. Mathews is a terrific voice in cozy mysteries.” —Cleo Coyle, New York Times bestselling author “Following Kate Buckley’s journey to solve the murder an Irish dancer in her quirky hometown of Shamrock, Massachusetts was so engaging it made me want to lace up a pair of ghillies and join the search. Mathews’ writing crisp and witty and there’s a gasp-worthy twist at book’s end. The setting, a town devoted to all things Irish, is so delightful you’ll find yourself hoping Shamrock really exists. I can’t wait for another visit to the Buckley family’s unique Irish-themed Bed and Breakfast. Sláinte!” —Ellen Byron, USA Today bestselling author “Absolutely enchanting! The Jig is Up will have you seeing shamrocks. Settle in with a mug of Irish coffee and your favorite green blanket, because it's gonna take more than the luck o' the Irish to solve Lisa Q. Mathews's delightful mystery. This whodunit hits all the right steps—I give it five pots of gold stars!” —Olivia Blacke, author of Vinyl Resting Place
