St. Patrick's Day Murder by Leslie Meier

When bar owner Dan Malone is found floating in the icy water, no one seems to mourn his death. Who is this grizzled, grumpy man and why would someone want to kill him? Lucy Stone, who writes for the local newspaper, uses her amateur sleuthing skills to separate fact from fiction as she digs into the story. This is book 14 in the Lucy Stone series. I have only read a few of the others, but had no trouble following the plot. 320 pages.
