I should have finished this book long before now, as it is delightful and entertaining light reading as are the previous installments of McDonnell's Dublin Trilogy. This novel takes a look at his most popular character, Detective Bunny McGarry prior to the events in the other two books. The same humor and wit shines through, making them prime candidates for palate cleansers between heavier, grimmer tomes. Looking forward to reading Last Orders, the last book in the trilogy.

I enjoy this series, will continue. It was nice to see a softer side of Bunny.

A deep insight into the the younger life of Bunny McGarry to understand what motivated him to do and act the way he does. A much more human Bunny McGarry is presented in this novel and it still makes you want to find out more about him. Bunny McGarry is given so much depth as the Garda are dealing with a plague of organised crime throughout Dublin. A laugh out loud funny novel which fleshed Bunny McGarry out as a flawed and tragic soul.
