Meeting the in-laws is a daunting task even for those who are outgoing and socially capable. Since I’m neither, the prospect of meeting Slash’s parents has me scared to death. Somehow, he convinced me it would be easier meeting my in-laws for the first time at his brother’s wedding during Christmas in Italy instead of at our own church wedding in the spring. He also suggested bringing my parents along to meet them, too. That way it would reduce the chance of any unnecessary drama at our nuptials. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong.

It's been a rough year for twenty-six-year-old Mags Murray. First she learns that her dad isn't her biological father, a secret her mother took to her grave. Then her beloved Irish grandmother passes away at Christmas while Mags is visiting her from the States. Now Mags must host her grandmother's wake and sell her cottage. A cottage Mags inherited but her odd jobs won't enable her to keep.

Mary Watson was 27 years old when she met Watson, and she had always been a beacon to those in need, as her husband put it. Slowly, in her concern for others, she found herself battling abuse, injustice, and horrors. She fought with the tools she had, the examples before her: the unwavering integrity and courage of John Watson, the deductive prowess of Sherlock Holmes.

After inheriting her grandmother's cottage, Mags Murray moves from the States to rural Ireland to embark on a new life. Her odd seasonal jobs won't pay for the needed repairs on her home, so Mags is determined to become a full-time genealogist, following in her grandmother's footsteps. She starts by organizing a DNA support group that encourages members to share research tips and provide moral support to frustrated family historians.

Mags Murray's genealogy career has taken off. She's making great strides with the repairs on her late grandmother's quaint Irish cottage, the historical Ballycaffey National School. She's overcoming her fear of sheep. And she and childhood friend Biddy McCarthy are enjoying a few harmless shenanigans. Life is grand. That is, until a family heirloom, a gold locket, is stolen when Mags holds a school reunion in her grandmother's memory.

Genealogist Mags Murray is off to a Scottish castle for her first Murray Clan reunion.

Mags's best friend Biddy McCarthy is eager to investigate, but Mags prefers a vacation from solving mysteries.

Last Christmas genealogist Mags Murray organized her grandmother's wake. This year she'll be spending her holiday with her dad, and for the first time, her recently discovered biological father.

Having uncovered her own paternity thanks to a DNA test, Mags is prepared for the surprises Gretta's test may reveal. Or so she thinks.

Mags Murray is still recovering from the shock of meeting her biological father.

"I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella. Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared."
