Book Review: WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another exciting, well-written thriller by the author. In this one, the struggles of Northern Ireland are featured, and the writing is exceptional. Suspenseful, with an intricate plot and well-fleshed characters, this book will keep the reader riveted until the very last page is turned.
Irish Republican Army (IRA) soldier, Brian Flynn has emerged from the heat of conflict in Northern Ireland with a master plan for seizing world renowned St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City on St. Patrick's Day. His plan includes the taking of three very special hostages, one of whom is a former IRA terrorist turned peace activist, who just happens to be Flynn's former lover and main squeeze, the beautiful Maureen Malone. The others are Sir Harold Wilson, the British Consul General in New York, and his eminence, the Cardinal.
Due to the fact that a former IRA terrorist and the British Consul General are joining the Cardinal on the steps of his Cathedral for a historic photo opportunity, the press is there in full force, as are members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Among them is Irish American Lieutenant Patrick Burke from NYPD Intelligence. When all hell breaks loose, the hostages are taken and NYPD discovers too late that the Cathedral has been booby trapped. With the hostages facing almost certain death, it is up to Burke to make sure that they survive, as the cards are stacked against them, with a traitor inside NYPD and a British Intelligence officer with his own secret agenda working against their survival.
This is a nail biter of a book, with many twists and turns interwoven within the complex, highly detailed plot and subplots. The characters are well-fleshed and, given the situation in which they find themselves, set the stage for great human drama that captures the reader. This is simply a wonderful, well-executed book that all those who enjoy well-written thrillers will love.
