Irish Eyes by Kathy Hogan Trocheck

I like Mary Kay Andrews...usually. But this one was my least favorite of all the ones I’ve read. The audiobook narration was particularly annoying. Syrupy sweet fake southern drawl combined with mispronounced words made the weak story just plain annoying. I was happy to be finished.

Really nice way to end the series.

I will definitely miss all these characters: Callahan, Edna, all the women of the House Mouse.

Kind of disappointing. I've read other books by this author I enjoyed more. 
I didn't realize this book was part of a series, and maybe I would have connected more to the characters if I'd read the others first. I also wasn't a fan of the narration. 
Probably one I should have DNFed, but I do appreciate the author not giving a "perfect" ending.

I guess i am just tired of unbelievable books about crimes that are solved by retired cops and people outside of the judicial system.

I really enjoyed this book. I love this series and this book made it have a fitting ending. I have not read them in order because my library doesn't carry all of these on CD. I do the majority of my book listening the car.

Anyway, great plot and storyline. Can't wait to read the others.

Have really enjoyed this series with all it's quirky characters. Was a little sad when Bucky, one of the main characters, gets shot and eventually dies. It is always a tough thing when one of the characters you like is killed.
This story starts with a celebration for St. Patrick's day which then moves on to Bucky getting shot. Callahan is determined to figure out who did it. She is up against the police department as they seem to think that Bucky may have been involved in some illegal activities. The issue of low salaries for police officers and the need to work side jobs is brought up and a main story in the book. Callahan is also dealing with her ongoing relationship with boyfriend, Mac. They seem to resolve things but the ending is still a bit vague.
Lots of intrigue, humor involving her House Mouse workers, and some sadness when some she discovers who some of the bad guys are.
Good read.
