In book #1 of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery series,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 who is carrying a beautiful porcelain Irish dancer doll peeking out of a plastic shopping bag. An over-sized sparkling diamond tiara is perched on top of the doll's curly brown wig--but the doll is wearing a traditional Irish dance school dress. Intuitively, Liffey realizes that whoever put the 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 dangerous criminals when she takes decisive action to thwart their plans. After a series of suspenseful cat and mouse chases, Liffey Rivers unravels the mystery of the sparkling solo dress crown.
