About the Nuala Anne McGrail series

Nuala Anne McGrail is a young Irish singer with second sight who moves to Chicago, marries financier Dermot Michael Coyne (the series' narrator), and keeps stumbling into mysteries that her psychic hunches, rather than conventional detective work, unravel. Across twelve novels -- all but one titled for an Irish word or phrase (Irish Gold, Irish Lace, Irish Whiskey...) -- the series tracks Nuala Anne and Dermot's marriage and growing family alongside the mysteries, blending cozy domestic comedy, Chicago Irish-American culture, and Greeley's recurring interest in the mystical and supernatural.
