Haymarket Riot and Stew

I'm still reading Irish Stew!, but considering all the tv show watching I did yesterday, it's a bit surprising I'm almost halfway through it. As the mystery unfolds, I keep wondering exactly how it will be solved. I'm kind of interested in researching more about the Haymarket Riot, but I know that Andrew Greeley has done a lot of research for the book, and at the end of the story he put a note about the "true" aspects of his story. I think I'll wait for those, and if I need to, I'll do more research after that. Nellie's reactions to/interactions with Socra Marie are quite amusing and cute. In the last part I read, she was the only one able to soothe Socra Marie - because she hadn't paid any attention to her in the last few days and Socra Marie was mad at her for it. :)
