Une enquête de Regan Reilly: Irish Coffee

More about the book

A haunted castle, international jewel thieves, and a hotel fire mark the beginning of Regan and Jack Reilly's honeymoon in Ireland. Newlyweds, Regan, a Private Investigator, and Jack, head of the Major Case Squad in New York City, arrive at Hennessy Castle, a romantic getaway that quickly proves anything but relaxing. Their first day includes a jog to a nearby graveyard, where they discover a tombstone marked REILLY. This belongs to May Reilly, a talented lacemaker from 1822, who was never paid for her exquisite tablecloth, leading to her haunting the castle. That night, Regan spots a mysterious woman outside, but when Jack calls her name, the figure vanishes, and shortly after, the fire alarm blares. Amid the chaos, they encounter Sheila and Brian O'Shea, a young American couple with a hidden agenda involving a superstitious artist. The next morning, May Reilly's famous tablecloth goes missing, and a note from an elderly couple who checked out after the fire reveals their true identities as international jewel thieves, "Jane and John Doe." They taunt Jack, who has pursued them for over a year, claiming responsibility for the theft. With help from Regan's cousin Gerard, they embark on a thrilling chase through Ireland's winding roads, from quaint villages to bustling Galway pubs, all while contending with the ghostly presence of May Reilly. This adventure is rich with Irish history, quirky characters, and unexpected twists
