Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly by Adrian McKinty
5.0
McKinty is having a blast here and I’m right there every step of the way. Duffy is so much better at all the pop culture gubbins than Rebus ever was. Duffy is educated, smart, witty, driven and hopeless. His relationship with Beth is delightfully drawn and his affection for McCrabban and young Lawson feels earned.
I’ve written before about the Ellrovian conflation of fact and fabrication — this time around we have the deaths on the Rock and the subsequent loyalist attack on the funeral — but McKinty even drifts into full-on Ellroy jazz-prose towards the end. I don’t mind it. At this point he can pretty much do anything he wants. This was simply as good and as much fun as a book can be for me.
