Liffey Rivers and the Mystery of the Sparkling Solo Dress Crown by Brenna Briggs
13-year-old Liffey Rivers is power-walking around the hotel lobby at the Celtic Arch Feis in St. Louis when she notices a suspicious looking man carrying a beautiful Irish dancer doll in his plastic shopping bag. An over-sized sparkling diamond tiara is perched on top of the doll's curly brown wig--but Liffey can see that the doll is wearing a traditional Irish dance school dress. Intuitively, she realizes that whoever put this dress on the doll, did NOT place the diamond crown on its head. When Liffey cannot resist investigating further, she finds herself not only trying to win a 1st place medal to qualify for her first Irish dance solo dress, but also dodging international smugglers. After a series of suspenseful cat and mouse chases, Liffey Rivers unravels the mystery of the sparkling solo dress crown.
Brenna Briggs is the author of eight Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries and, for adults: MAIDS: Mothers Addicted to Irish Dancing. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into a third generation Irish American family. For many years she thought that eating green-dyed bakery bread and sugar cookies with green icing on Saint Patrick's Day were the best things about being Irish. Her essays and short stories have been featured in Hornpipe Magazine, The Irish American Post, Canada's Irish Connections, The Sligo Quarterly Review, Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine and many other Irish American periodicals and newspapers. After spending six years in County Sligo, Ireland, where she wrote her first three books and looked at what seemed like most of the 3,000 heritage castle fragments, tombs and other ancient monuments marked on detailed local maps, she reluctantly moved back to the USA and now writes in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin in tiny Lancaster. There is not much to do here but write and read books from the excellent local library, so I have become much more productive. This is important because when I do get out and about to do book events, my readers have often asked me why it takes me so long to finish the next Liffey Rivers mystery. I am hoping to put an end to such probative questions and accelerate my output!
