Summary: A Great Read
Comment: A Midwinter's Tale is the beginning of a new series for Andrew Greeley, and the main character, Chucky O'Malley is one of his best ever! Chucky literally comes of age during the Depression and WWII, and his growing up in an Irish Catholic famiy in Chicago is a fine tale indeed. His bright wit and charm are irresistable to women, particularly his sister Peg's best friend, Rosemarie(Rosie)Clancy-who are more or less taken in by the O'Malley's due to her own mother's drinking problem and her investment banker father is rarely at home. But the real fun and action begins when after high school graduation Chucky serves in the Army Constabulary in post-war Germany. The story is one you will breeze through, anxiously awaiting the next installment of the series. Highly recommended.

Summary: A good beginning to a new Greeley saga
Comment: I enjoyed this book, spending the better part of a Sunday afternoon to finish it. It is the beginning of a series focused on bright and personable young Chuck O'Malley. The young man has the gift for detective work that is a common trait of Greeley's protagonists. While the setting and character types are familiar from other Greeley novels, the story is a pleasant exploration of familiar territory. This story provided a nice balance of action, suspense, and good characters. It's frustration is that it is the first installment in a series and just when you want more the book ends. Of course, the next installment is available as I write this belated review. Chuck O'Malley may just end up on my favorite character list along with Blackie Ryan and the Coynes (Dermot and Naula Ann).

Summary: A little of everything
Comment: A coming of age, a little romance, a little suspense, a little mystery-- Father Greeley has put a little of everything into this coming of age story of a young Irish American. As in many of Greeley's stories, this "accidental" hero soon grabs the heart of the reader. The yarn of adventures wrapped around the characters as young Chucky grows up keeps you hooked, and will entice you into reading through the whole series to see what Chucky Ducky and the "crazy O'Malley's" will do next. I highly recommend.
