Summary: A walk in the Irish (mist) rain
Review: Another enjoyable read by a man who combines wit, wisdom, spirituality, grace and mystery as no-one else can. This latest installment in the series takes us on another trip through the IRISH TROUBLES in a fashion that is informative, thought-provoking and forgiving. The light-hearted and humouruos account of Nuala and Dermott's attempts to be good spouses is both tender and endearingly famialiar to any new love. Well worth a read.

Summary: Ireland, history, mystery and romance..the perfect book
Review: 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: Ireland, history, mystery and romance..the perfect book
Review: I am a long time reader of Greeley's works (fictional and non-fictional. I admire his attempt to offer insight into the Gospel and grace through his novels. So, this review is from a supporter (morally and through the large library of his works that I have purchased over the years). Irish Mist is several stories in one. There is the relationship between Nuala Ann and Dermot as they adjust to married life. There is a trip into Irish history. There is also a contemporary suspense story that provides a context for the other two stories. Having read all of the other Naula Ann stories, this installment was a pleasant addition to my growing appreciation of these characters. Their adjustments to married life came across as both realistic and endearing. The trip into Irish history was also well written and fun. The only part of the story that was disappointing was the contemporary suspense story. It provided unlikely and incompetent villains and really didn't add much to the overall story. The contemporary suspense elements in all of the other Naula Ann stories were much better. For me the primary interest in this work is the development of the main characters. In that regard, it is a satisfying addition to my Greeley library.

Summary: Not a good book!
Review: I have a number of Greeley's books and have usually enjoyed them as a window to the world of Irish-Americans and Catholics (I am neither). However, I really hated Irish Mist. I thought the plot was a big yawn, both the historical mystery and the present-day suspense story. Greeley attempted to make his two main characters believable, but he spent too much time dwelling on how talented, good-looking, rich and smart they were to make me warm to them and care whether they worked their marital problems out. The worst thing about the book, however, was the unbelievable amount of swearing (totally unnecessary to the plot or character development) and gratuitous violence. I'm honestly not a prude, but I do object to people who can't open their mouths without swearing (in books or in real life) and it's especially annoying when I know the author is a CATHOLIC PRIEST! This book was a waste of my time and money.

Summary: Cute, but not complex
Review: I just finished Irish Mist, and I was very disappointed. I've not read the earlier books, so maybe I'm missing an essential thread, but I felt this book was too scattered--the plot goes everywhere and ends up doing nothing. I found the "Irish language" parts cute, and the relationship between the two main characters is refreshing, but there was no suspense. I found myself skipping large sections out of boredom. I'd read A Midwinter's Tale by Greeley and liked it immensely, so I was quite let down in this read. The "action" scenes felt contrived and silly. I did finish it, but I won't try another in this series.

Review: i was dissappointed in this book. The lengthy detail the author goes into irish history put me to sleep a few times. This story was unrealistic and irrational. Methinks, Greeley should stick to his priestly duties rather than unrealistic novels

Summary: I found this book to be thought provking & enjoyable.
Review: I was not disapointed with the latest installment of the love story of Nula & Dermont. The pictures of Ireland that Father Greeley paints with his words are as vivid as seeing them in person. I also find the historical parts exciting and educational. I never tire of reading any Andrew Greeley Novel,at all,at all!!

Summary: Unauthentic dialogue spoils this okay tale of Irish intrigue
Review: I'm sorry to disagree with your other reviewers. The frequency of those corny Irish-isms like "meselfs" and "gobshites" and the bad grammar uttered by supposedly educated people was so off-key that it spoiled my enjoyment of an otherwise good Irish tale of intrigue. It's not the words themselves -- author Roddy Doyle's four-letter language in, for instance, "The Snapper" is far stronger than Greeley's, but Doyle's works because it fits his characters. Greeley certainly knows his Irish history and comtemporary locales but his dialogue sounds more like how many Irish Americans think the Irish speak. And, the people at Forge could have used a firmer editing pen. If there was one reference to Kevin O'Higgins role in disarming Irish police there were at least ten!
