Four friends play a game of croquet on their tour of Ireland. . . and another (crappy) husband bites the dust.
The Arkansas 4 win a trip to the Emerald Isle with a group of Bluff Springs compatriots. Amy, Zelda, Genna, and Rian dream of castle ruins, fairy houses, and the hunt for Rian's roots. But when a wedding ends in murder, Amy befriends the Garda Síochána to help solve the crime.
When is a maid not a maid? That's the riddle Amy must solve before the killer can be brought to justice as the handsome Garda O'Shannon hopes.
Amy soon discovers everyone has something to hide, including her friend Doris. Suspects mount and so do the bodies, threatening to ruin their visit to the Emerald Isle. Between the croquet theme and the banshee screams, Amy realizes her precognitive snippets have followed her to Ireland. And, maybe even brought her closer to her family roots. Could her grandmother hail from an ancient Celtic tribe? Will Rian find her long-lost clan? It's all within the realm possibilities in the land of lore, legend, and flannel.

“Of course, we have our passports. Why wouldn’t we?” Realization hit Zelda’s eyes. “You think someone stole our passports? Someone like that maid?”
“I’m thinking maybe she was pretending to be someone else.”
Zelda gasped again. “You think she’s a spy?”
Amy burst out laughing. “A spy? Why would a spy be here?”

“Of course, we have our passports. Why wouldn’t we?” Realization hit Zelda’s eyes. “You think someone stole our passports? Someone like that maid?”
“I’m thinking maybe she was pretending to be someone else.”
Zelda gasped again. “You think she’s a spy?”
Amy burst out laughing. “A spy? Why would a spy be here?”
“Well, you never know,” Zelda said. “Spies are like that. They show up in unexpected places and unexpectedly get killed. I knew there was something odd about that woman.”
“Odd? You mean other than the ice pick wounds in her back?”
“She didn’t have on the right shoes,” Zelda said, her lips pursed in a righteous pout. “She had on a pair of Girotti! What woman in her right mind wears handmade Italian heels to scrub toilets and make beds? I know that brand. I’d recognize that clunky block heel anywhere. She wasn’t wearing tights, either. And that’s just not a good look for a maid.”
Meet the Arkansas 4 friends who play to win... while the husband dies trying.
When scrambled evidence and sketchy alibis compel Amy to uncover the truth, she unravels the facts and the fibbery in a fast-paced misadventure through the dangerous and dusty back roads of Arkansas.

The Arkansas 4 get more than they bargain for when Genna's Big European Tour of Arkansas creates a triangle and a tricky state of affairs. Amy wonders if she's been railroaded into a black widow society and she has to uncork the murderous plot before another husband falls prey.
