Introduction
Caer is spending this Christmas among strangers. Brought to Newport, Rhode Island, from her native Ireland to nurse ailing millionaire Sean O'Riley, she's living a life few can imagine. But money can't hide the tension between O'Riley's trophy wife, his paranoid daughter, the eccentric aunt in the attic and the staff members who run the house. When O'Riley's business partner goes missing, family friend Zach Flynn arrives. Determined to help him solve the case, Caer becomes enmeshed in a mystery that weaves together the sins of the past with one family's destiny…and a spirit that watches the mansion, possessing a deadly gift.
Excerpt
Zach Flynn was sleeping deeply when his cell phone rang. What might have proven to be a tragedy, the case of a missing boy, had been neatly and happily solved in a matter of days. Sam, the ten-year-old, had been angry. His mother had remarried and had a baby, and the baby had been getting all the attention. He hadn't been kidnapped, despite the open window and the mess in the room. He'd staged the event and gone to hide out in his father's old hunting lodge. When Zach had found him- tracking him down through his emails to an Internet buddy in China-he'd been ready to go home. No heat, running out of food-it hadn't been half the fun he had expected. All had worked out well. Sam's mother and stepfather had been so relieved that they'd welcomed him back with tears and enough love to make him believe he was as cherished as the new baby. ... view entire excerpt...Discussion Questions

their banshees and leprechauns?
Notes From the Author to the Bookclub
It's my sincere hope that you'll enjoy Deadly Gift for many reasons-- it takes a lot from my heritage, and centers around two places I love, Dublin, Ireland, and our own New England section of the country. As we're all hurrying around doing those things that need to be done for Christmas, it's also a story about a family who must find the truth regarding disappearances and possible murders, before they don't have a Christmas at all. Odd cross section there, but hopefully, it reflects the terrible things man can do out of greed, and the wonderful things he is capable of because of love.Book Club Recommendations
