Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-30 Summary: An Irish Country Trilogy ... I have read three: An Irish Country Doctor,Village, and Christmas Story. The characters come alive and pull you into their lives.If you read any one and enjoy it then the other two are are different enough and still consistent with character behavior to bring enjoyment! I had to read all! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-28 Summary: Very sweet story ... This is a very sweet story of a young doctor who joins a country practice. I loved the characters and really enjoyed the situations they found themselves in. This book doesn't break any new ground and it's not challenging; it's just a very satisfying read with a nice ending. I read it fairly quickly. There are times when this type of book is just what the doctor ordered. ;-) ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Great! ... Great book! Currently reading the second one, An Irish Country Village. It's not a deep and profound book, and there isn't a great mystery to solve. It's just an enjoyable, delightful read about some life lessons tossed with a wee bit of humor. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but already he knows that there is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and dales of Northern Ireland. The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree and little else in the way of worldly possessions, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie OâReilly....more

A Deeper Sleep: A Kate Shugak Novel (Kate Shugak Novels)
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780312937546; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-03 Summary: He Deserve To Die ... Louis Deem is dead. Murder, which couldn't happen to a more deserving person. A DEEPER SLEEP by Dana Stabenow is number 15 in the series and not the most powerful addition, but it takes devoted fans (like me)deeper into the lives of all the bush rats, not just Kate Shugak, Mutt, and Jim Chopin, but all the rest who hang out Roadhouse. These are old friends and to discover new facets of their personalities is fun. A not to be missed addition to any mystery collection bookshelf. Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-26 Summary: A Deeper Sleep ... I really enjoy reading Dana Stabenow's books with Kate Shugak which take place in Alaska. They have a mystery which she always solves. She brings her relatives to life and in her books you always learn something new about them. I look forward to her next book. ...more

The Anonymous Venetian
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-20 Summary: For Lovers of Venice and gentle mysteries ... I think Donna Leon is a gem. Her tales of Venice and its habitants are a delightful read and bring the city to life. Her characters are lovable and the background terrific. If you like a "gentle" mystery, Donna Leon is wonderful. Inspector Brunetti and his staff are developed so well that one feels they could be invited to dinner. Zuppa de pesce for all!! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-09-04 Summary: An Ironic Murder Mystery Triggers Probing Questions Leading to New Insights ... With The Anonymous Venetian (retitled by the American publisher as Dressed for Death), the Guido Brunetti mysteries reach their full power for the first time. As with Donna Leon's earlier books, The Anonymous Venetian features a corpse that's prepared and deposited to create maximum confusion for the police. That tiny fragment of her style becomes a launching pad for much self-examination by readers about how others think and live, including transvestite "working women" and those who employ them. The book offers two ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-07 Summary: For lovers of all things venetian ... Donna Leon continues to bring me into the everyday life of the Venetians. I am transported. The detective element is also interesting. But, ah! to be a Venetian in Venice - that's the fun part. ...more
