Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly by Adrian McKinty
4.0
Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy is back again for the sixth time and this novel is as enjoyable as the others.
The opening to the book (and this does not offer a spoiler) portrays Det. Sean Duffy handcuffed and being led to his yet to be dug grave deep in the woods. Things do not look good at all for Duffy and while reading this portion, one wonders how will Duffy escape from this mess intact.
The book then flashes back to explain exactly how he found himself in a situation where he's going to take a bullet to the back of the head.
What I like about McKinty's writing is that while reading the book, because of this effective opening, I wondered is this possibly the last Duffy novel and McKinty is getting ready to move on.
The main plot to the novel is the investigation of a drug peddler murdered by use of a cross bow arrow. For some reason, in what should be a case no one cares about, apparently people do.
McKinty throws in all he is good at - the politics and carnage of Ireland, Duffy's wit and rebellion, his trusty sidekick Crabby and all the other usual fixings and it's done in a way that is not boring or repetitive.
Highly recommended.........especially if you like Ian Rankin's Det. Rebus......
