A Body at the Bakery

Book Six Arriving November 4, 2026

Mercy McCarthy & Mr. Poe · Shamrock Cove, Ireland

St. Patrick's Day in Shamrock Cove has brought out countless Irish flags, streams of green bunting, lots of good-natured cheer… and the body of the local baker.

One of Mercy McCarthy's daily haunts is the patisserie at the heart of Shamrock Cove's main street, run by her good friend Paisley. She never expected that her pastry run would turn deadly. All fingers point to Paisley — and Mercy is determined to prove her dear friend's innocence before another body turns up at the bakery.
