Irene's Last Waltz (Irene Adler Adventure)
by Carole Nelson Douglas“Some women are born to have grand adventures,” wrote the New York Times of Irene Adler, the only woman ever to outwit Sherlock Holmes. Carole Nelson Douglas’s previous novels about this fascinating beauty (GOOD NIGHT, MR. HOLMES; GOOD MORNING, IRENE; and IRENE AT LARGE) have charmed delighted readers, winning critical acclaim, and IRENE’S LAST WALTZ is undoubtably Irene’s most daring-and dangerous- adventure. The ever irresistible Irene Adler, her dashing barrister husband Godfrey Norton and the indomitable Miss Nell Huxleigh have arrived at last at their French cottage-having survived (but just barely) the dastardly plots, Russian spies, pistol-wielding criminals... and the occasional cobra. Our happy trio seek nothing but rest and peace. But Irene has always chafed under idle conditions, and Paris, she says, “is pretty and urbane, but hardly a center of excitement.” So when Charles Frederick Worth, the Parisian King of Couture invites Irene to become his “mannequin de ville,” to wear the fabulous Worth creations to stimulate his trade, Irene leaps at the chance. But what was a joyous lark soon turns into a journey that can lead to disgrace, dishonor...and death. For Irene, Nell and Godfrey are drawn into a series of events that will compel Irene to the one place that she daren’t go-and to the one man she must not confront. To Prague and the King of Bohemia. Carole Nelson Douglas is a four time Romance Writers of America award winner. The first book in the Irene Adler series, GOOD NIGHT, MR. HOLMES, won the American Mystery Award for Best Romantic Suspense Novel. She is also the author of the Midnight Louie series (CATNAP, PUSSYFOOT); the Thliswo- man series (CUP OF CLAX SEED UPON THE WIND); and numerous other mysteries, fantasies and romances, including AMBERLEIGH and LADY ROGUE. Carole Nelson Douglas lives in Fort Worth, Texas.

Irish Alibi: A Mystery Set at the University of Notre Dame (Roger and Philip Knight Mysteries)
by Ralph McInernyBouchercon Lifetime Achievement Award winner Ralph McInerny's Irish Alibi is a great addition to this stellar series, in which the past, no matter how distant, is never forgotten and always poised to rise again.With the Fighting Irish set to square off against Georgia Tech, Roger Knight, the rotund professor of Catholic studies, and his brother Philip, a semi-retired P.I., know that Notre Dame fans will be out in force. The faithful swear that on game day the entire campus comes alive to cheer on the football team, and they don't have to look any further than Touchdown Jesus or Fair Catch Corby, a statue of a Civil War chaplain who seems to be signaling another pass completion, for proof, misguided as it may be.But this year, this friendly and sometimes heated North-South rivalry turns downright hostile when Notre Dame's ties to the Union during the Civil War are dug up, and two students, brothers and Southern gentlemen, are spurred to defend their honor with a prank nearly 150 years after the fact. While they both admit to being the culprit, only one of them could've actually committed the vandalism. But which one? By stretching one alibi over two people, they may dodge expulsion. But then they become suspects in a seemingly unrelated murder case that the Knights must solve, or else getting thrown out will be the least of the boys' problems.

Then the controversy doubles when another woman arrives with a huge diamond ring on her finger, claiming to have been Fred's intended.

But it's up to Roger to plug into the campus gossip grid and, with a little help from Phil, not to mention his vast knowledge of just about everything that happens on campus, determine the exact chain of events that led to murder.

Irish Gold
by Andrew M. GreeleyThe veteran Greeley plots this latest work with some admirable cunning, which shows up clearly in a highly believable trading expos and in the exacting re-creation of the supposed death of an enigmatic crime lord from Capone-era Chicago. Unfortunately, it all counts for naught beside the truly tiresome twosome around whom this third book in a series (after Irish Gold and Irish Lace) revolves. Nuala Anne McGrail is an Irish beauty with a fine singing voice, all kinds of sexy outfits, a job as an accountant and the gift of second sight. She talks dirty, likes to be fondled and must be the least likely virgin featured in recent literature. Her dutiful betrothed is Dermot Coyne, who also doubles as the narrator. A former commodities trader who's now a bestselling author, Dermot is currently under investigation for the $3 million he netted during his brief trading days. When Nuala "sees" an empty coffin in a cemetery plot, the hunt for a missing corpse is on. The shooting death of Jimmy Sullivan, onetime rival to Al Capone, emerges as just the kind of long-unexplained mystery that exactly suits Nuala's otherworldly gifts and Dermot's dogged legwork. Dermot's trial is fun, and so is Jimmy's turbulent history. But the lovers' dialogue is laughable with its lewd promises for the upcoming wedding night. And then there's Dermot's continuous declarations of his endless devotion and the lustful attention Nuala elicits from every breathing male in Chicago. One might be tempted to opine that Greeley knows less about love (or lust) than he might think. Library Journal
