Maggie D'arcy Mysteries

Sarah Stewart Taylor’s compelling Maggie D’arcy novels are gripping mysteries about family, survival, and the meaning of home.

Twenty-three years ago, Maggie D’arcy’s family received a call from the Dublin police. Her cousin Erin has been missing for several days. Maggie herself spent weeks in Ireland, trying to track Erin’s movements, working beside the police. But it was to no avail: no trace of her was ever found. The experience inspired Maggie to become a cop. Now, back on Long Island, Maggie is a homicide detective and a divorced mother of a teenager.

Taylor’s lyrical prose, deeply drawn characters, and atmospheric settings will mesmerize critics and readers alike.
