Murder Most Irish

Murder Most series...
Murder by any other name is still murder, unless it has an Irish flavor. Then `tis Murder Most IRISH, a bold anthology of short stories... of Irish crime and detective fiction. A favorite Irish song begins: "When Irish eyes are smiling, sure t'is like a morn in spring." For many Americans, Ireland is still most closely associated with the movies of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald, the warblings of John McCormack and Carmel Quinn, and a host of other sentimental images--from St. Patrick's Day parades to bawdy limericks and buoyant blessings and ballads. But there are two sides to the Irish soul: the light and the dark. And the dark side takes no truer or more brilliant form than in these 17 deft stories from Irish literature. A mix of classic and modern works.
