The Dead Yard by Adrian McKinty

5.0

Love, love, love this book. I'm a big fan of Adrian McKinty but this has got to be his best book. The pacing is excellent. The characters are richly drawn. Even the setting is spot on. McKinty has a great knack for knowing when to change the tone of the book. The softer character driven sections are expertly placed to balance the gritty scenes. He doesn't rely on the action to move the book along; its a natural progression of the story, organically grown, so you don't grow tired of it and you don't feel exhausted either.

By the way, I listened to this novel via Audible and the narrator Gerard Doyle nails it. I can't imagine anyone else narrating McKinty stories.

Bottom line, whether you listen or read a hard copy, get a copy of this book. Now.
