I honestly think I've found a new favorite author, and I've only read her older books. Only a few. Wow, I'll be in things to read for a long time to come.Ahem.Moira Kelly produces and hosts a travel show on a cable network. She's a busy woman trying to maintain a life, so when her family--Irish to the core--asks her to come home to Boston for Saint Patrick's Day, she's not entirely sure she wants to go. Of course it's tradition. Of course she caves in. She can do a piece on the day from her father's pub and get the whole family involved. Her crew, including the new man in her life, are only too willing to help.It's never that simple, though. First, there's Danny, an old flame and close enough to a family member that he's been invited for the celebration as well. Though he and Moira have broken it off, feelings and tensions still run high. Then there's the fact that Moira's brother, Patrick, is off doing mysterious things. And there are strangers scoping out Kelly's Pub. Danger's afoot and Moira's never quite sure where it's coming from.But ignorance won't keep her safe.As I've said before, I'm not good at figuring out most mysteries or romantic suspense plots. I didn't have a clue where this story was going or who the bad guy was. I had my opinions and theories, of course, but I was wrong, in the end, and really, that's fine. I'm not sure I want to be able to figure things out easily.I was completely drawn in by the characters and the atmosphere of Kelly's Pub and Moira's huge family. Also, I feel it's important to note that there have been several books lately that made me feel like the ending was too tidy, this one worked and worked well for me. Another success for Ms. Graham.Also note: If you are interested in Irish politics, the Irish in America, or Irish anything, you may enjoy this book a little more, like I did.
