A review by yorugua1891
Headstone by Ken Bruen
5.0
"I'm almost afraid to voice it but I think he's close to happy"
The words on the title of this review were said by Stewart, and he is talking about no other than Jack Taylor, our beloved main character, who is always battling inner demons and seems to have the worst luck anyone has ever had. Jack has finally given up on going to America and is enjoying a relationship with a lovely woman from that country. Things are looking up, but as readers of the series probably can guess, there is trouble in the horizon. If you look at the top of the cover, you can see the words "A JACK TAYLOR NOVEL OF TERROR", which is a new description for this series, and it applies to this book perfectly.
The elements we have come to expect from the books in this series are still all there, great writing, a witty cast of characters, confrontations, both in actions and dialogue, and the characters' battles with their own problems. But in this case, there is a sense of horror present, which comes from the evil nature of a group that goes by the name of Headstone and whose leader has a truly diabolical master plan in mind.
I have finally done it, I have read all the available books on this series up to this date. Now the long wait starts, hopefully it will be bearable and I will have the next book on this series in my hands soon.
