Happy March! Winter is slowly loosening its grip and the days are getting slightly longer. Spring looms on the horizon, and it seems that things have gotten, well, a lot greener. That’s right—we’re talking about Saint Patrick’s Day. And though it’s true that these days, most celebrate the holiday by donning green garments and drinking copious amounts of beer, we think the best way to toast all things Irish is by (you guessed it!) picking up a good book.
So in honor of the season, we have a Retro Read that is sure to get you in the spirit. In Whistle for the Crows, Dorothy Eden expertly spins a suspenseful and romantic tale set against the backdrop of an austere Irish castle. When Cathleen Lamb sets out for Dublin to record the history of the mystery-shrouded O’Riordan family, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. She encounters a host of suspicious ephemera—including a darkly passionate suitor who is plotting to control the O’Riordans. But can he protect Cathleen from a past that threatens to ruin her future? Atmospheric and evocative, Eden’s novel offers a bit of romantic suspense with a decidedly Irish twist.
