Irish Linen ~ This is the newest book (February 2007) in the series so this is the last you'll be hearing about Nuala and Dermot for awhile now. Dermot and Nuala discover the memoirs of Timothy Patrick Clarke (Irish ambassador to Nazi Germany at least in the pages of this novel) through the memoirs you will learn more about Claus Graf von Stauffenberg. They also intend to find out what happened to Desmond Doolin who has gone missing in Iraq.
My next book review will be on the final book in the Harry Potter series. If you can't wait for me to finish it drop by PolitiCalypso and read Trying My Hand at Divination - UPDATED.
