This is the first in the Mensa Mystery series. Mensa is an international organization, the membership consisting of people with a very high IQ. They have local meetings, and also regional and national conventions.
This story takes place at one of the conventions in Ireland. The organizer of this particular convention is Cara Cassidy, whose regular job is a Dublin tree surgeon.
The convention takes place in a hotel, which also hosts other guests not a part of Mensa. During the weekend, one of the guests is killed, and a valuable necklace is missing.
The local police want to keep everyone in place until the crime is solved, but they are unsure as to how long that will take. When some of the Mensa members become suspects, Cara feels an obligation as organizer to help solve the crime. She and a few of the other Mensans start their own investigation.
I found the descriptions of the convention, the other members, and the setting to be well-written. There is a nice mystery to solve, and a little romance. I enjoyed this book, and am looking forward to reading others in the series.
