Mystery at an Irish Wedding

by L.C. Winters

FBT review:

An impossible murder at an Irish wedding. A framed outsider. A detective with a past.

When Clementine returns to her small Irish village, she expects her father’s surprise party—only to walk into her ex-fiancé’s wedding to her ex–best friend. Minutes after a champagne toast, the bride collapses, poisoned. The only suspect? Clementine, whose gifted champagne becomes the murder weapon.

Enter Mason Hughes, a disgraced former Garda detective with a sharp mind and a guilty conscience. As the village turns on Clementine, Mason uncovers secrets, lies, and weaponised grief.

Perfect for fans of twisty indie mysteries, small-town secrets, and character-driven thrillers, *Mystery at an Irish Wedding* delivers a clever whodunnit that will keep you guessing to the final page.

Publisher Description:

An impossible murder. A clever detective. A framed Sleuth.

Charlotte was poisoned at her own wedding.

The champagne was toxic.

The cork was clean.

The bottle was opened in front of everyone.

No one else touched it.

Explain that.

Clementine thought she was coming home for her father’s surprise birthday party. An email promised a celebration. Instead, she walked into her ex-fiancé’s wedding—to her former best friend, Charlotte.

Minutes after a champagne toast, Charlotte collapses.

The murder weapon?
The champagne Clementine brought as a gift for her parents.

Now the entire village is watching her.

Now the entire village is watching her. Was she framed? And if the email that lured her home wasn’t from her mother… who wanted her there?

Mason Hughes knows something about guilt.

Before the blue hair and the murals, he was one of the Garda’s best detectives.

Until he lost everything for beating a suspect he believed had murdered his parents.

The suspect was innocent.

And now, as suspicion coils around Clementine, Mason sees the pattern he once missed.

Someone in this village knows exactly how to weaponise grief.

In a town like this, everyone watches and nobody sees. Reputations are lost. Harm is done. Shame is passed around. Murderers are created.
