review 1: I read a number of bad reviews on this book, but decided to read it any ways and I am glad I did. Though it is not the best book I have read, it was still a great listen and one that I wanted to keep listening to.... I thought the book was coming to the end, but looked and found I still had an hour left, couldn't wait to findout what else was going to happen. Great read and I can see the main charactor being carried forward to other books.
review 2: This is quite good. Some really fabulous writing... energy, intense, Duffy is an interesting character - reminds me a little of William Pettersen in To Live and Die in LA, for some reason. Set in Ireland, 1981, in the middle of a war zone... sociopaths abound... Duffy's a catholic homicide detective in an all Pr... moreoddy police district..., listens to the Ramones, Duffy does...; lots of Irish in the language -- and convincingly -- there's even a short glossary at the back... excellent plot... lots of existential angst... McKinty is a reader -- quotes from Burroughs, T.S. Eliot, lots of greek myth...; even hints of Le Carré.... it loses a star only because McKinty gets caught now and again playing to the gallery... when..., if he were a little more uncompromising... this would have been stellar. But a good start to the series. less
