In the Morning I'll be Gone by Adrian McKinty

4.0

at the moment one of my favourite podcasts is by two crime writers 'Two crime writers and a microphone' . One of the presenters Steve Cavanagh is a Northern Irish lawyer who writes crime novels (I read his first The Defence which was good stuff). Recently he commented on Hollywood films and mainstream novels that try to capture the Irish troubles and he said that what they all missed was the sense of humour and that despite bombs left right and centre the Irish still joked about the grimmest things. They have also interviewed this author and this remained a stand out point.
This is book 3 in the series and it was another enjoyable outing and it was the humour that stands out as Catholic Sean Duffy battles his bosses in the mainly protestant RUC, the IRA, corrupt politicians and a locked room mystery. The usual detective story clichés abound but I enjoyed it and will continue the series.
