Leprechauns and Larceny

Enjoy this witty paranormal, cozy mystery by award-winning and bestselling author Lucinda Race.

Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying...

Bookstore owner and witch Lily Michaels has a never-ending list of to-do items as the maid of honor for her best friends'upcoming St. Patrick's Day wedding. The last thing she has time for is another mystery. But with a missing wedding dress, the discovery of a pair of leprechaun boots, and a body in a bathtub, she's ready to mesh her love of puzzles and a little magic to help solve the crime. Even if her fiancé -Gage Erikson of the Pembroke Cove police department- is determined to keep her out of trouble and safe.

Good luck with that.

Lily is going to need more than the luck of the Irish to solve the murder while a group of treasure hunters, friends of the deceased, are in town. Only they're not grieving. They're focused on finding a pirate captain's gold, which-according to legend-the rocky coast of Pembroke Cove keeps hidden...and is only accessible during three days in March.

Will Lily's luck hold with a wedding in shambles and a murderer skulking in the shadows? She needs to follow the clues to solve the case but can her witchy skills save her when the final clue leads her to the murderer?

Leprechauns and Larceny is the sixth novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as a standalone-a humorous paranormal cozy mystery with a guarantee that the culprit is caught. Happy reading!

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Book of Spells

Book of Spells is a deep and atmospheric fragrance that blends the richness of dark chocolate with smooth sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea. Warm and layered, this scent carries a subtle dryness reminiscent of aged pages, balanced by a soft, lingering sweetness. The result is a fragrance that feels both grounding and slightly unexpected, with a warmth that settles gently into the space. Rich without being heavy, it creates an inviting, bookish atmosphere that lingers beautifully in the air.

Why we chose this: Lily Michaels runs the Cozy Nook Bookstore in the small seaside town of Pembroke Cove, Maine, and she has recently discovered that she is a witch, her cat Milo talks, and murders keep happening with a frequency that her detective fiancé finds both alarming and entirely predictable. Book of Spells is the candle for every book in this series, deep and atmospheric and bookish, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like a beloved bookshop where magic and mystery have made themselves completely at home. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a cozy New England bookstore on a day when Milo has something important to say and Gage is about to find out Lily has been sleuthing again.
