What is this mystery about?
Raise a pint, thread your needle, and discovert the charm of Ireland in Gaelic Charm—the next adventure in the Mystery Five-0 Mega-Mystery quilt series!
As you stitch your way through each clue, you'll follow fabric sleuth Lara Langston as she arrives in Dublin ahead of her quilting tour, looking forward to a few quiet days before welcoming the group. At the suggestion of her longtime Air Force friend, Bradley Bailey, Lara stops by a neighborhood pub to meet one of Bradley's oldest friends. What begins with a warm Irish welcome, a hearty toastie, and a perfectly poured pint soon turns into something unexpected.
What is this mystery about?
Home should be quiet.
Between quilting tours in Hawaii, Lara Langston returns to Pringle, Iowa determined to finish her half-stitched quilts and sort through Nana’s attic treasures—without stumbling into another mystery.
But when Howard “Hap” Henry, the town’s most happy-go-lucky soul, shows up at the door with worry behind his easy grin, Lara’s peaceful plans unravel.
Hap needs his birth certificate—and fast. With a passport application underway and his granddaughter’s destination wedding in Jamaica on the horizon, he’s ready for adventure… if only he can prove he was officially born.
The pub owner has a problem he can't explain. Money has been quietly disappearing from the till, but despite his best efforts, he can't uncover who's responsible. Bradley once described Lara as a one-woman investigative phenom, so the owner can't resist asking if she'd be willing to take a look.
With little more than her instincts, a keen eye for detail, and an appreciation for a good mystery, Lara agrees to see what she can discover.
Join us for the Gaelic Charm Mega-Mystery—because with Mystery Five-0 ,every stitch uncovers another clue.
Because in the world of Mystery Five-0… Luck might start the journey… But it won’t finish it.
