A festive St. Patrick’s Day, a town steeped in tradition… and a murder that leaves everyone seeing red.

Casey Nolan thought she was finally settling into her new life in Vista del Vino—raising her teenage son, Liam, bonding with her extended family, and maybe even enjoying a little peace and quiet. But when a beloved community figure is found dead during the town’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration ever, her plans for a drama-free holiday are dashed faster than an Irish Car Bomb at last call.

With old rivalries, buried secrets, and family tensions bubbling to the surface, suspicion lands on one of her closest friend’s relatives. Casey knows there’s more to the story—and she won’t stand by while an innocent person takes the fall. But as she digs deeper, the weight of the case starts to take its toll, dredging up painful memories and pushing her already fragile sense of stability to the brink. With her investigative instincts sharpened and Ranger, Liam’s ever-loyal diabetic alert dog, by her side, Casey must unravel the truth before the stress of the case unravels her.

A Wild Rover Returns is a heartwarming and twist-filled cozy mystery perfect for fans of small-town intrigue, found family, and amateur sleuths who refuse to quit. Full of suspense, charm, and St. Patrick’s Day spirit, this fourth installment in the Vista del Vino series is best enjoyed in order—but just like a good mystery, it’s never too late to start sleuthing!
