review 1: This is the first book I've read of this series and probably the last. There is a lot going on, it is packed with characters with complicated histories and connections between them. The book is good at keeping suspense, but the plot and the characters aren't very original. The main character especially, is a stereotype, angry, lonely detective, course, alcoholic Irishmen. Overall, this book is pretty good, but not the type I'd want to read more of.
review 2: We're given another fascinating glimpse into the dour Jack Taylor's tortured life. By now he wears a hearing aid and walks with a limp. He's discovered a new substitute for the booze: Xanax. He's going after a deranged nun who has kidnapped a child. I liked the song references like the Kris Kristofferson's ... more"Sunday Morning Coming Down," one of my favorites. Spurts of mordant wit, poetic turns of phrase, and the rich Irish atmosphere make this fast read also a rewarding one. less
