Jan Burke’s first introduces Irene Kelly, newspaper reporter in Goodnight, Irene. The story opens where she is actually working in another field after a spat with her editor. When her friend, O’Connor, who was still working on the paper is killed, she and the ex-boss let bygones be bygones. She takes on the task to uncover the murder. This also requires her to look into O’Connor’s pet project, the 35-year old murder of "handless Hanna". This was a bit more hard boiled than I expected (Okay, I admit it, I didn’t expect a woman author to write hard boiled. So, sue me. I’m sorry. I had a prejudice. Not to excuse it, but I’ll argue anyone who says they don’t have any prejudices is either a liar or deluding themselves). I’ve also heard that she gets better … that’s good news, because I liked this one.
