When a builder suffers a suspicious accident at a construction site in Stillorgan, Maeve Lynch agrees to ask a few quiet questions as a favour to a friend. It should be straightforward. A quick look around, a few conversations, and then back to normal life. It really should not end with her holding a student card that has no business being where she found it.
Returning it seems like the obvious next step... until she discovers who it belongs to. And what happened to him. And why, at the time, nobody seemed particularly interested in asking any questions.
What begins as a simple favour quickly unravels into something far more unsettling. The deeper Maeve digs, the more she realises that the past hasn't stayed neatly buried-and that some truths were deliberately overlooked.
With Nidge on the lead, Michelle and Aisling on speed dial, and Liam from the Gardaà offering just enough help to make her nervous, Maeve finds herself pulled back into the kind of mystery she can't quite resist. As threads begin to connect in unexpected ways, she starts to see a pattern emerging-one that suggests this was never just an accident.
And with Karl on his way home, Maeve must decide how far she's willing to go before everything becomes a little too complicated.
Motifs and Malice is the fourth book in the Maeve Lynch Knitting Mysteries series-warm, witty, and set in the heart of Dublin. Perfect for fans of cozy crime, close-knit communities, and clever mysteries with heart, where a talent for untangling yarn turns out to be very useful indeed.
