4.5. Great audiobook narrator and a very nicely constructed story. The tension with Beth was a distraction, although I see that it was leading to the conclusion (and it was predictable)
Won as a goodreads giveaway. Exciting, enthralling, and well paced. Throughly enjoyed and will have to check out more from this author
The last book available in the Sean Duffy series and now I feel slightly at a loss. I've spent so much time with this character and grown quite fond of him. The story was engaging and the writing clever and fresh as ever, but I read these books for the characters and they shone once again in this sixth addition to a favorite series!

Not only does this book have a great title it is also a great read. I highly recommend the audiobooks for this series as you can't beat listening to Sean Duffy with a real Irish accent. Its way better than the one I can imagine in my head. Also when is someone going to put together a playlist for this character? I'd buy that soundtrack.
Superb as the rest of the Sean Duffy series. Lots of musical, literary and historical references that keep readers on their toes. From Chapter 'The Paper, The Scissors, and Michael Stone': 'I sat in the living room by the fire and played with Emma. Put the record player on. "This, Emma, is Luigi Boccherini. Now people are going to tell you that he's courtly, old-fashioned, even boring, but you just listen to the warmth of that melody,eh?" Emma was ignoring me and trying to choke herself to death on a Lego brick. I removed the brick from her gob and helped her make a tower.'
Chapter 'Driving Music' 'We were once creatures of the savannah, whose lives were mapped by the journeys of the great migrating herds across the rift valley. We can't live like this. Stationary, on top of one another. It's bad for our mental health.'

Love the protagonist’s black humor and his love of music, created a Spotify playlist of songs mentioned in the last few books. Couldn’t stop until I’d read the whole series with many good laughs along the way and still hoping for another installment. As anperson with Irish heritage but no present-time connection to Ireland I loved getting the historical sketch. Recommend.
