While I have loved all the other books with Paul and Bridget, I was disappointed in this one. The whole Money Game brought back memories of a poorly done production of The Westing Game. McDonnell normally has the ability the intertwine humanity with his characters troubles but this was lacking.

Fun, but not as good as "The Dublin Trilogy". I think that the use of the same protagonists repeatedly in new series has become a bit tired with this one.

As usual the characters are great, the relationships fabulous and the plot intricate. It's all hooked to together with some wonderful humour and lines and Dorothy is the Granny we'd all love to have. When's Burns getting her owns series though, or Phil...

The first of the Dublin trilogy esque books I didn’t really love - the game show aspect just wasn’t interesting to me and I found myself willing those chapters to end and to get back to Jimmy and Phil, who are much more interesting than Paul and Bridget as characters too. Still really funny stuff though, and very moving passages in Jimmy’s mind
