A Plot to Die For: Small town Ireland. Big town murder.: A Blooming Murder Mystery
Autor Ardal O'Hanlonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 ian 2027
When beloved celebrity gardener Finn O’Leary returns to his hometown of Abbeyford in Ireland to care for his aging mother, he is naturally roped into the Tidy Towns committee.
The Tidy Towns is a competition fanatically fought over by every town and village in the land. And for his best friend’s sister, Aoife, it’s a competition she’s determined to win. With everyone’s favourite gardener on board, she is sure that this year Abbeyford will take home the prize.
But Finn’s only been back a week when an alto-baritone at his mother’s choir practice drops dead during a rendition of ‘What the World Needs Now’.
With more at stake than just winning Tidy Towns, Finn soon finds himself trying to solve a murder – or two. For one of his many qualities is that people tend to confide in him…
With his mother, her Nigerian carer and Aoife in tow, Finn sets out to discover just who has brought murder to Abbeyford.
And so it begins.

Recenzii
‘A Plot To Die For is how cosy crime should be: wonderfully written, witty, twisty, intriguing and totally unputdownable. Ardal O’Hanlan has the most enticing turn of phrase and a real talent for bringing a townful of characters to life. I guarantee you’ll be rooting for these guys long after the final page is turned. Luckily for us, this is the start of an absolutely delightful new series... can't wait for the next one!’
Janice Hallett, author of The Killer Question
‘I love stories set in small towns and communities – St. Mary Mead of course – but also Cranford and Maycomb, and now Abbeyford! I loved the way Ardal created the whole layers of life of the community with its gossip and rumours, choirs and committees, feud and competitions – where everyone knows everything and everybody – except of course who's murdering people! The story telling was wonderful – it was like being holed up in a tea shop with Maeve Bincy and Agatha Christie’ J. M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder
‘Witty and wonderful, Ardal O'Hanlon crafts a brilliant murder mystery that had me hooked from the very opening. Vividly real and laugh out loud funny at times, I didn't want it to end. O'Hanlon invites you into a world that's absolutely bursting with fun, humour and, of course, deadly murder. A hilarious caper that's as engaging and warm as it is mysterious. Truly brilliant stuff’ Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives
‘Ridiculously entertaining, this gorgeously-written tale from Ardal O'Hanlon is a must read for fans of small-town mystery’ Jo Spain, author of The Trial and writer on the hit show Harry Wild, starring Jane Seymour
'Written with Ardal O'Hanlon's characteristic humour, A Plot to Die For is populated with a cast of engaging characters intent on solving a murder in their midst, led by the eminently likeable celebrity gardener Finn O'Leary, A small town mystery to die for!'
Andrea Carter, author of the Inishowen Mysteries
'This book has it all – a great cast of characters, a puzzling whodunnit. fun times and a twist at the end you don't see coming. Who could ask for more?'
Faith Martin, author of A Fatal Obsession
‘A Plot to Die For is a delightfully dark blend of small-town Irish charm and a rising body count. Ardal O’Hanlon’s wit and warmth shine through, with a gently eccentric cast that draws you in from the first page. Perfect for fans of Graham Norton and Richard Osman; readers will be keen to return to Abbeyford for the inevitable next murder’
Guy Morpuss, author of A Trial in Three Acts
'The charmingly funny beginning of an intriguing new series'
Claire McGowan, author of What You Did and the Paula Maguire series
‘A Plot To Die For is everything you’d hope for from the mind of Ardal O'Hanlon, and then some. It's laugh-out-loud funny, yes, but it also delivers a superb mystery that really gets its hooks into you. The characters are so well drawn, and Ardal perfectly captures the rhythm and warmth of life in a small Irish town. Reading it genuinely made me feel a little homesick. Finn O’Leary is a character I desperately hope to see again, and I can’t wait for another trip across the Irish Sea to Abbeyford. A Plot To Die For is an absolute joy - five stars’ Chris McDonald, author of the Erika Piper series
‘A roaringly good read that pulls back the curtain on small town secrets, and how far some are willing to go to keep them. Jam packed with heaps of humour, heart and homicide!’
