In Magnerstown, the tea is strong, the welcome is warm . . . but trouble is beginning to brew.

Nothing ever happens in Magnerstown, deep in County Tipperary countryside.

You could keep your house keys under a plant pot and never have any bother.

That is until the local judge is found dead in the courthouse.

Detective Inspector Robert Carroll is called to the scene.

He’s back in his home town after years working in France, and quite frankly couldn’t give a hoot about the town’s petty concerns.

But charming Maggie Lehane, who's moved from the city, does care about the locals and decides to revive their local gossip rag – 'The Crier'.

To the annoyance of Detective Carroll, she and the paper's investigations are always one step ahead of the police.

Soon, another body is found, and Detective Carroll realises these cases are no small matter.

From bodies in a wishing well to a case of cannibalism, he's put through his paces.

All the while he's contending with tight-lipped townsfolk and a long list of enemies, who are determined to make his investigations just that little bit harder to crack.

Magnerstown is a small, close-knit fictional Irish town where daily life revolves around familiar institutions — the courthouse, the pub, local shops, and the nursing home on the edge of town.

It is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business, rumours spread quickly, and change is viewed with suspicion.

Though outwardly quiet and ordinary, the town hides old grudges, institutional failures, and long-suppressed secrets.

These warm, Irish cozy mysteries are perfect for readers of Agatha Raisin-style mysteries and fans of Irish village crime novels full of small-town intrigue, dark secrets and dry humour, like Carlene O’Connor and Lucy Connelly.

Readers call it "atmospheric", "witty", and "a real page-turner".

About the author: Anne Crosse has been writing since she was born.

"The ideas were in my head until I could actually hold a pencil and write down the words.

I have always been fascinated by buildings, places, and what makes people tick, so it was inevitable I would have to express the pictures in my imagination.

I have had plays broadcast by RTE radio drama, and short stories published in magazines and anthologies".
