Irish Gold

By: Andrew M. Greeley

Narrated by: David Dukes

The first book in a series of mysteries featuring Nuala McGrail and Dermot Coyne! Dermot Coyne of Chicago goes to Ireland to uncover the true story of his grandparents, who left the Emerald Isle under a veil of mystery in the 1920s. There, Coyne meets Nuala McGrail, a college student who helps him translate his grandmother's diaries. Coyne's grandparents, the O'Riadas, and the bloody history of Ireland from 1919 to 1923 are mysteriously linked to present-day peace talks between the Irish and English. The investigators learn that the talks—and their own lives—hang in the balance, unless they can uncover the secret of the O'Riadas and one of history's great mysteries: the murder of Irish revolutionary Michael Collins.©1995 Andrew M.

loved it

previously read book. Audible put a whole new perspective. Loved it, both written and the audible version.

Will th e series be available?

Loved it, need to have the complete series available on audio. my first book to try.

note to The Listener

there's a part of this book where they start alternating from regular sound to one that almost has an echo. when you listen pay close attention because this is done for an effect so you can distinguish between the present day people and those of the past. I found that quite clever once I figured it out but I had to replay the first section they do this in. if you're looking for a short listening that's a good book you'll find this one very to your liking I hope

Not as good as the Bishop series

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I loved the Bishop goes books, but this book was not worth the price or my time. The story line and the characters had lots of potential but they never got close to their potential.

Would you ever listen to anything by Andrew M. Greeley again?

yes.

great book

I've been looking for the Nula Ann books for years. this is the beginning to whole saga
