Well I think this series is going to continue on for some time. I am no longer going to follow it where it goes. Patrick Taylor joins a list of authors that I have read and initially loved, who I decided that time is short, and I refuse to read anymore books by this author anymore when there are better books to spend my time with.

Please note that if you have not read the series til now, there will be spoilers included from the previous books.

I was initially crazy about this series. The first book in the series, An Irish Country Doctor (Irish Country #1) was a bit long and had a lot of medical information that I didn't think was that necessary, but all in all I was pretty happy to read about the characters of Doctor Fingal O'Reilly and Doctor Barry Laverty. Reading about the mythical village of Ballybucklebo and all of it's citizens was a fun way to pass the time.

Up until An Irish Country Courtship (Irish Country #5) I was pretty happy with the series. Mr. Taylor took pains to include both Fingal and Barry's points of view so it didn't feel too bogged down with just one character. However, that all seemed to stop when we started to focus solely on the character of Fingal in the series, starting with A Dublin Student Doctor (Irish Country #6). Though we seemed to return to form with An Irish Country Wedding (Irish Country #7) and I hoped that the standalone novel that we got focusing on O'Reilly was just a one-off. Especially because I didn't love it the same way that I loved An Irish Country Girl (Irish Country #4) that focused on the character of Mrs. Kinky Kincaid who was the housekeeper to both Doctors. However, Mr. Taylor proceeded to write whole novels with O'Reilly with the reader following his student days in Dublin, his initial romance with his now wife, Kitty, and we would hear rumblings about how he met and lost his first wife which were Fingal O'Reilly, Irish Doctor (Irish Country #8), An Irish Doctor in Peace and at War (Irish Country #9) and The Wily O'Reilly: Irish Country Stories (Irish Country #10). In the latter books we lost the important POV of Barry which I thought kept the books more realistic.

Reading about O'Reilly at a younger age became increasingly boring to me as a reader. And that's because we already knew his story in the first book. A widower who lost his wife during World War II. Why in the world this is constantly harped on through what is it now, 9 books if you take away the one focusing on Mrs. Kincaid, was a bit much. And I think that's the problem. Reading about O'Reilly's past through several books was not that interesting. He served on a warship, he got married, he lost his wife, I don't think readers needed to be taken down every nook and cranny in the character's life.

We pretty much lost any other characters being discussed in depth in these books now. Mrs. Kincaid (now remarried) was barely in this book), Barry, Jenny, heck even most of the villagers are now tertiary characters in the saga of O'Reilly's life. And since we didn't really get a chance to know the character of Deirdre in the last book, we focus on her a lot in this book, and wow, this character read like a cardboard cutout of a perfect woman. Unlike with the character of Kitty, Deirdre never felt real to me in the last book or this one.

And the plot line which was thin at best, is pretty much the same as it is through the last several books. We always have a mysterious ailment that the Doctors try to figure out, usually it is an ailment attached to a character that the Doctors do not get along with. The character of Donal who always has a scheme that O'Reilly feels obliged to help out in, Barry going through issues in his relationships, O'Reilly trying to stick his nose in something and fix it, etc. These are all things that we have read before. There is nothing new here in the series, or nothing new that is going to keep me coming back for me.

The writing was clunky throughout the book. I think that was because we had Taylor throwing in references to O'Reilly reading about nuclear testing going on in Nevada, the Beatles, etc. The medical discussion about the rhesus monkey blood type put me to sleep, several times. I always thought the book had way too much in depth medical discussion back and forth between characters that dragged, but this one took the cake.
And once again the flow was horrible from beginning to end in this book from the flashbacks to O'Reilly's past and the present. We have O'Reilly and Kitty making that trip to Spain and it literally only took maybe 6 or 7 pages. I cannot believe this was a whole plotline in the last book for it to be dealt with this quickly in this book and for it to not even really matter at all.

The setting of Ballybucklebo never comes fully alive in this book. Probably because we were often in other places in O'Reilly's past in this book, and we would only have brief conversations with characters in the present.

The ending didn't have the same ring to it as previous books. I swear it felt like a mishmash of the previous books with a celebration always happening at the Doctors home with somehow the entire village able to be in their upstairs parlor. It's not very believable and I just sighed my way through it.

I just plan on re-reading the books from the series that I liked, and pretty much ignoring all new offerings. ...more

This book gives you more of the backstory for Dr. Fingal O'Reilly of Ballybucklebo, Ireland. This book switches between the present day and O'Reilly's time serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. The book is very sad at times when focusing on the war. I'm still really enjoying this series, and am not looking forward to when I catch up.

As readers rejoin Fingal OReilley and his wife Kitty, the couple are in Dublin attending the thirtieth reunion of their 1936 medical school class at Trinity College. As they prepare for the dinner, the location of the event brings back memories of the past and Fingal recalls times when he was a surgeon on the naval ship HMS Warspite during the war.

In this story, Patrick alternates two distinct time periods between the 1960s in Ballybucklebo and the early 1940s when he completed a three month As readers rejoin Fingal O’Reilley and his wife Kitty, the couple are in Dublin attending the thirtieth reunion of their 1936 medical school class at Trinity College. As they prepare for the dinner, the location of the event brings back memories of the past and Fingal recalls times when he was a surgeon on the naval ship HMS Warspite during the war.

In this story, Patrick alternates two distinct time periods between the 1960s in Ballybucklebo and the early 1940s when he completed a three month stint at the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar in Portsmouth. He had been given an opportunity to take a one month course in anesthesiology and extend that period to further his expertise in trauma surgery. During that time Fingal and his fiancée Deirdre Mawhinney married and experienced their first months of married life before she returned to Belfast and he returned to his ship. It was a period of brief happiness.

During his course Fingal worked under the Chief of Surgery Sergeant Commander George Fraser, an arrogant, over confident and talented surgeon who was technically expert but had no compassion for his patients. He was often brusque and abusive with his co-workers, had definite ideas about the treatment of his patients and did not tolerate anyone questioning his decisions. He and Fingal come to a disagreement about the care of two patients and Fingal was forced to take steps that could have landed him in serious trouble. But Fingal managed to find creative ways to handle these problems and helped Flip Dennison a downed pilot who suffered horrible facial burns and Alf Hansen a talented man who was headed for a naval career and dreamed of being a gunner.

Back to the sixties in Ballybucklebo, Fingal tries to help Ronald Fitzgerald a classmate who he noticed at the reunion was exhibiting worrying signs of a neurological disorder. But his offer is angrily refused as Fitzgerald accuses Fingal of intruding on his private life. Fitzgerald has never been an easy person and has no relatives or friends. Fingal and Kitty are worried about him.

Barry Laverty is presently in a deep funk. He has received several letters from his fiancée Sue Nolan who is on a teacher exchange in France improving her French. But in each letter she mentions Jean Claude Hamou, her new friend who has been showing her the sights and with whom she has been sharing gourmet meals and visiting café’s. Barry knows he should trust Sue but after his experience with Patricia Spence who went off to Cambridge and found another romance, he is wary.

Fingal’s friend John McNeil, the twenty-seventh Marquis of Buckleballybo is worried about his finances. He and his widowed sister Myrna have been poring over their expenses and are concerned about the future of the estate which will be subject to huge taxes when the Marquis dies. Fingal connects them with his brother Lars who begins to work with their solicitor and the National Trust to help them organize plans for the future and help them avoid crushing inheritance taxes.

During this time Fingal is faced with two cases of women who are pregnant but have complications and knows he cannot manage them alone. Irene Beggs has a uterine fibroid and Lorna Kearney a case of RH incompatibility. It irritates him that he must ask for outside help but it reminds him his clinical knowledge is becoming dated and he must do something about that very soon.

Jenny Bradley is engaged to be married and her future husband has been given a partnership in his law firm in Belfast. Jenny does not want to leave the practice in Ballybucklebo but it seems inevitable. Fingal interviews Dr. Nonie Stevenson as a replacement and she it appears she will fit in well. She passes Fingal’s test of liking roses and Labrador dogs although Barry has some reservations about her dislike of night call. He remembers as students that she could become bad tempered when she was tired. But the two partners decide to give her a three month probationary period to see how things work out.

And what would one of these books be like without Donal Donnelly and his latest scheme. Donal has paid for stud services for his racing greyhound Bluebird but is concerned that Mary Donleavy’s Chihuahua got to his dog first. If that proves to be the case there will be some strange looking puppies born and he has no idea how he will sell them. But Donal always finds a creative solution to every problem and this time solves the dilemma by deciding his new puppies are exotic Woolamarroo herding dogs.

The final chapters are heartbreaking as readers know from previous volumes how Fingal’s first marriage comes to an end. In the final pages, Fingal pulls up his car on Templemore Avenue and sobs, remembering his beloved Dierdre while the rain pours down around him. It was difficult to read and another reminder of the insanity of war.

Taylor has combined a number of real life as well as fictional parts in this story. He did extensive research to get the details of the battles right and readers get a harrowing picture of what it was like for medical staff dealing with the wounded while bombs fell, guns hammered, soldiers screamed in pain and the medical staff raced to help them, sometimes to no avail.

This book fills in much of Fingal O’Reilly’s past story about his work during World War II and his brief but ill-fated marriage to Deirdre. But I admit I am really missing Kinky and want to hear more about Barry and the last volumes have not focused much on them. Hopefully that will change with the next book. ...more

I fell in love with the characters of Ballybucklebo in the first installment of the Irish Doctor. I am always entertained by their exploits. The only reason I did not give this book 4 stars is the amount of naval/war information. For the first time I found myself skimming paragraphs. Although some may enjoy the information, it's just not my cup of tea. I highly anticipate the next "Irish Doctor" book.

Another excellent installment in the series. This book picked up where An Irish Doctor in Peace and at War left off. As in the previous book, this one alternated between Fingal's past and his present.

He was looking forward to the next three months, as he and Dierdre planned to marry during this time. But there were unexpected obstacles to their plans. Another excellent installment in the series.

The "past" part of the book began with Fingal reporting to the naval hospital at Haslap for additional training in anesthesia and trauma surgery. He was looking forward to the next three months, as he and Dierdre planned to marry during this time. But there were unexpected obstacles to their plans.

I loved following Fingal through his time at Haslap. He learned a great deal medically, and also had the opportunity to experience different ways to deal with problems. The Fingal of the present has always been known as the Wily O'Reilly, but in this book, we got a glimpse of how he learned some of that wiliness. I love that Fingal considered all aspects of the patient important, not just their medical issues. There were several instances of him doing what was right for the whole patient, even when it got him in trouble with his superiors. I loved the Scottish doctor who was such a tremendous help and example to Fingal. I also appreciated the realistic look at wartime medicine and the challenges it created. The descriptions of Fingal's experiences both on shore and at sea were vivid, especially the feelings of witnessing the effects of the battles.

A big part of this section was the furthering of the relationship between Fingal and Deirdre. I loved seeing them snatch what time together they could, rejoicing in the simple things when they were together. I ached for them both when Fingal discovered that he had to have permission to marry even after attaining the next rank. It was fun to see that a case of "who you know" came to their rescue. It was sweet to see them settle into married life, all the time knowing that their separation loomed ever nearer. The poignancy of their letters to each other, once he returned to HMS Warspite, was incredible. How I cried when I finally found out what ended their marriage.

Back in the present day, life went on for Fingal and the village of Ballybucklebo. I loved seeing Fingal and his medical school classmates together for their class reunion. Their concern for one of those classmates was clear, especially when he resisted their attempts to help him. This was a man who was always standoffish, but Fingal and the others refused to give up on him. There were also a couple of problem pregnancies to deal with. One of the things I love best about Fingal is that he was never too proud to admit when he needed help. I loved seeing his determination to catch up on advances in medicine so that he could better serve his patients. Outside of medicine, Fingal still seems to be the glue that holds the village together. From bird counting with his brother to helping his friend John with a tricky problem, I loved seeing how various threads were connected. On a personal front, I loved seeing Fingal and Kitty deal with the ghosts of their pasts and move forward in their new lives together. Meanwhile, Barry missed his fiancée Sue, who was in France on a special educational trip. I ached for him as he worried about the effects of their separation on their relationship. Fingal's recent problem with similar feelings gave him the ability to provide some much-needed advice. Some lighter moments were provided by yet another of Donal Donnelly's schemes, this one involving a canine mésalliance and its results. ...more
