Summary: Ireland, history, mystery and romance..the perfect book
Comment: Drawn to the Irish connection, I was delighted to find an historical connection as well. To stumble upon an author able to create around both my loves is a dream come true! I could not put this book down. Greeley's description of the main characters paints a portrait so vivid, I feel that I truly know them. Likewise, he takes you to Ireland with such verbal mastery and geographic preciseness, I felt as if I were there. This was my first Greeley novel...discovered quite by accident. I have already purchased Irish Gold, Irish Lace and Irish Whiskey and can not wait to begin another priceless journey through Greeley's words.

Summary: Series losing focus.
Comment: Irish Mist, The fourth book in Andrew Greely's series of Nuala McGrail mysteries gives us another look at an unsolved mystery from the past; who killed Kevin O'Higgins. O'Higgins, who was Michael Collins successor in the effort to have an independent Ireland, is the catalyst for the latest of Nuala's "fey" episodes and her husband Dermot once again does the footwork.(Although this time his physical attributes are often brought into play) Mixed with an almost farcical attempt to kidnap Nuala, a charity concert in Ireland, and a commentary on the nature of lovemaking and its importance to a successful marriage, Greely bites off a bit more than he needs to. Sometimes the central mystery gets lost when there is too much extraneous material floating around, and this seems to be the problem here as it was with the last book in the series, Irish Whiskey. Greely tries to make each book a history lesson and maybe a tale that is completely fictional without the baggage of historical documentation is needed to liven the series up a bit. As it is, the books are getting bogged down in subplots, most of which are not worth the reader's time. The strength of the novels is still the relationship of Nuala and Dermot. Maybe that needs to be the focus.

Summary: my review
Comment: This is the first book I read from this author of this "Irish" theme and I was not impressed. I liked the characters and the writing is very funny and brings to the reader the 'irish accent', but all in all, the book did nothing for me.
I have read previous books by the author and I prefer them to this kind of "mystery a la Irish".
