review 1: I really liked this one. Another in a stream of Irish crime fiction on which I've gotten hooked. I picked this one up in the fabulous RJ Julia Bookstore in Madison, CT, when I heard another browser say to a friend - "corruption in the Dublin Police Department. This should be good." He didn't buy the book, but I did, and glad I did. Reformed petty criminal Danny Callaghan gets drawn into a gangland dispute, and finds himself struggling to remain uninvolved. Of course he doesn't. His return to criminal practice is forced upon him, but he demonstrates that he's a good man at heart.
review 2: Really enjoyed The Rage and this one, Dark Times in the City. These books are set in post-boom Dublin, and Kerrigan tells the story from both the police and the crimina... morels' viewpoints. I really like that some of the same characters are in each book, but a major character in one may become a minor in the other. I enjoyed these two much more than the first one I read, The Midnight Choir, I think because although the main characters are quite flawed, you care about them - and for me that wasn't the case with The Midnight Choir. less
