What are the characteristics of 1960 Irish crime series novels?

The moral and religious undertones were quite prevalent. Ireland in the 1960s was still a very religious society. So in crime novels, the idea of sin, redemption, and the role of the Church often played a part. A criminal's actions might not just be seen as a legal violation but also as a spiritual one. And the characters' moral compasses were often shaped by the religious beliefs of the time.

Many of these novels from 1960 Ireland had complex character relationships. Family ties and community bonds were central. A crime could be committed because of family honor, or a character might be conflicted between loyalty to their family and doing the right thing in the face of a crime. Also, the dialogue in these novels was often rich with Irish idioms and local dialects, which added to the authenticity of the story and the portrayal of the Irish people at that time.

The Carrero Series (1-3)

Emma Anderson has everything in her life worked out. She has her perfect job in a Manhattan empire allowing her to live a quiet and organised safe existence. A necessity to her, after a childhood filled with bad memories, abuse, and a mother who was less than useless. But, with it comes a problem, one that could derail everything she thought she needed in her life. Her promotion sends her straight into the close employment of young, gorgeous, playboy billionaire, Jacob Carrero with his formidable reputation for being a player. Stuck as his right-hand man, every waking moment of every single day, she realises he is exactly the type of person who could drive her crazy, and not in a good way. Like chalk and cheese, he is everything she's not. Compulsive, confident, laid back, dominant and fun, with a seriously laid back attitude to casual sex and dating. Jake is the only one with an ability to steamroll over her manicured ice maiden exterior, who is not phased by the closed in demeanour and cool manners, but as much as she wants to, letting him in is another thing entirely. A past that made her man wary and no desire to ever let one close enough to hurt her again, Jacob Carrero has his work cut out. He is not someone who takes NO for an answer and will have to learn how to break through if he wants more than the mask she shows the world. Jake needs to show her that even some one like him can change when that one girl that matters breaks through. Love-able sexy characters and deep emotional topics.
