Another great read, taking place about a year or so after the last one. Great story and characters, great narrator, and generally fun and educational.

This series won’t be for everyone. It’s pretty rough in content ant language, but realistic given the characters and setting. I know very little about Northern Ireland in the 80’s so these have been fascinating for me. Also, I like this guy’s writing style. Characters are complex, the plot drives forward at a good pace, and he has moments that are absolute poetry.

Listened to the audio version, terrific!
It's satisfying to be three books into a series and find the writer has neither run out of ideas nor has he neglected what it was that makes the books rewarding - terrific pacing, sharp dialogue, smart plotting and a sly manipulation of the historical facts as we know them, leading the reader to acknowledge that, yes, yes, it could definitely have happened that way.
This was my favorite book in the series so far. I listened to the audio and the narrator has really grown on me. He does a brilliant job, especially with the humor. I don't think I've ever laughed this much while listening to a book. As always his descriptions of Ireland during the troubles is amazing, but this time he takes it even further, by describing how it feels like when in a bombed building. The locked room case was very intriguing, and I loved the ending of the book. So if you enjoy police mysteries, humor and gorgeous accents then add this to your list.
