I just could not put this book down, but you the reader should put aside all that you know about the preceeding three books if you have read them first. I think I would have loved to have read this one first so i could understand the beloved Kinky - but I have just gone back to the first one and re read it - it means so much more now - I can not wait for the next one to come out I will be first in line for it. If you have never read one of Patricks books - you must be an eejit - go on with you - take a gander.

Narrator Terry Donnelly is a deft voice performer who easily segues between accents from American to English to Irish. And when her text calls for Irish her voice is as authentically Irish as it can be. Her accent is true, crisp, and her voice is often lyrical as she switches to different characters by changing pitch. Thus, her reading of the fourth in Patrick Taylor's Irish Country series is a delight.
With AN IRISH COUNTRY GIRL we learn more about a favorite character, Kinky Kincaid, housekeeper for Drs. Laverty and O'Reilly. We have come to know her as reliable, resourceful, and almost as if she had always tended to the doctors, Not so we learn as Kinky takes us back in her memory to when she was Maureen O'Hanlon, the young daughter of a farmer in County Cork.
She was an unusual girl in many ways, but most certainly due to her gift of being able to see what others could not - the mystical world of fairies, spirits, and (shiver) the Banshee. Kinky is reminded of her girlhood when children come to visit on Christmas and are rewarded not only with sweet treats but also a tale of spirits - a true one.
It is the story of Conner MacTaggart who chopped down a Blackthorn tree despite being warned that dark fairies live underneath it and will surely avenge themselves. That is precisely what they do, which is sad news for Maureen's older sister who wanted to marry Conner. From this reminiscence Maureen who is now Kinky remembers how she met her own husband.
Fans of this series will enjoy the opportunity to know more about Kinky and how she came to Ballybucklebo.
Enjoy!

When I read the write up for this book on the inside cover I was disapointed that it wasnt going to pick up where the last book left off and I was doubtful that I was going to like it. I couldnt have been more wrong I couldnt put it down. It was different,atmospheric and a first class bit of story telling . This is definately a book that I would go back and read again at sometime in the future. If you miss this book you will have missed a treat.
