Irish Eyes is a book that has a beginning, middle and an end wherein all pieces are neatly tied up. The book was written by an author who likes her chosen profession because she did not just end the story leaving the reader wondering. Irish Eyes deals with brutal murders and robberies. It was a believable story in that no character just all of a sudden produces information. Because the book was neatly written, with a good story it received four stars here. It is recommended. I love Mary Kay Andrews' writing, especially her newer romantic comedies. After making my way through those, I became hooked on her nineties mystery series in the past few months and read each novel. Callahan Garrity, like the author's other heroines, is both frustrating and very likeable. The books are full of humor but also some genuinely good page-turning scares. I became very interested in the secondary characters-so I'm not sure if this installment is my favorite or least favorite Callahan book. I know that this is almost twenty years old, but I wish Andrews hadn't ended the series on this note, and that there was more to come from Callahan Garrity. Very enjoyable book. I liked the characters and Hillary Huber does a fantastic job reading the story. I will definitely read the seven books before this one. Hopefully as audiobooks. You don't know who was involved with all the crimes until the very end. Love the two 80-year-old sisters. There are some funny characters in this story. Definitely recommend this book. I jumped right into book 8 in the Callahan Garrity series, which wasn't a problem. The plot was good, the criminals twisted, the main character was smart and caring, the secondary characters appealing. A few of the recurring characters are a little like milder versions of Stephanie Plum's crazy friends; in other words, quirky but believable. At this point in her life, Callahan is not working for anyone else; it's a personal issue. She's trying to find the person who shot her best friend, her former Atlanta police partner, so there are plenty of heart in this too. The audio narrator, Hillary Huber, was fine, but rather slow for my liking. I know the idea was to use the southern drawl, but she still could have sped up a bit.

Callahan is a likeable, no-nonsense character who doesn’t hesitate to get involved in other people’s business when a good friend and cop gets shot. With help from other ex-cop friends and her cleaning crew, she gets into a few risky situations trying to get information. The story was interesting and had a couple of surprises. It was a light and enjoyable mystery with a bit of humor. ( )
