The Galway Mysteries Books 1–8 (Galway Homicide: Hays & Lyons #1-8)

The west of Ireland — wild, windswept, and steeped in secrets. When murder shatters the peace of this rugged landscape, Detective Sergeant Maureen Lyons and Inspector Mick Hays are the ones who answer the call.

From a body found on a storm-lashed bog road to the killing of a mysterious escort with powerful clients, Lyons and Hays tackle Galway’s darkest crimes with intelligence, intuition, and sheer determination. In a close-knit community where everyone has something to hide, justice is never straightforward — and danger is never far away.

Spanning eight compelling cases, this best-selling series takes readers from mist-covered mountains and coastal villages to back alleys and grand hotels. Fast-paced, full of suspense, and rich in local colour, this is Irish police procedural at its finest.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
🔎 DS Maureen Lyons – A sharp, intuitive investigator with a reputation for straight talk and quiet tenacity. Galway born and bred, she’s known for getting results — whether she’s taking down armed raiders or prising secrets out of tight-lipped suspects. Off duty, she’s wryly self-aware and fiercely independent.
🔍 Inspector Mick Hays – A veteran copper with a dry sense of humour and deep roots in the West. Hays brings a calm, strategic presence to each case, with a subtle moral compass and a tendency to trust his gut — especially where Lyons is concerned.

DISCOVER THE WEST OF IRELAND
Rugged, remote, and utterly unforgiving — Galway and the surrounding Connemara region are as much characters in these novels as the detectives themselves. Misty boglands, windswept peninsulas, sleepy villages and bustling city streets collide in this unforgettable landscape, where murder always leaves a mark.
