Bel, Book, and Scandal: A Belfast McGrath Mystery

Maggie McConnon rings in Christmas in Bel, Book, and Scandal, the third adventure for everybody's favorite Irish-American culinary artist turned amateur sleuth. Bel McGrath tries her best to keep herself on the straight and narrow but she just has a taste for trouble. This time danger arrives in the form of a newspaper left behind by visitors to Shamrock Manor-and a photograph that jolts Bel out of the present and back into a dark chapter from her past. The person in the photo is Bel's best friend Amy Mitchell, long gone from Foster's Landing, at a commune in upstate New York shortly after her disappearance. The picture, and Bel's burning desire to find out what happened to Amy-and whether she may still be alive-is the catalyst for a story in which old secrets are revealed, little by little...and certain characters are shown to not be as genuine as Bel once thought. Bel McGrath is:"e;Authentic...will leave you smiling."e;-Nancy Martin "e;Hilarious and surprising."e;-RT Book Reviews "e;A saucy, funny, flawed protagonist that readers are guaranteed to fall in love with."e; -Susan McBride
