I received a free Kindle copy of The Ghosts of Galway by Ken Bruen courtesy of Net Galley and Grove Atlantic, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.
I requested this book as the description sounded interesting.
This book was a major disappointment. It is not a stand alone novel. You will need to read the prior 12 books in the series to have a good understanding of the main characters and themes in this book. The author’s writing style is choppy and unorganized at times (could be due to the my prior observation) making it a difficult read. It is far from engaging and interesting.
I cannot recommend this book without anyone going back to the beginning and starting with the first book in the series which I hope is better than this one.
