I think not as laugh out loud funny as some of the others but a good instalment in the Bunnyverse

Bunny McGarry is not the biggest fan of the Christmas season, and things turn to worse when he and Butch are suspended from the force for investigating a violent assault where a valuable ring was stolen. The assault seems to be linked to an Italian heiress that is missing, and it seems more and more like politics are taking care of the issue instead of the police.

I am not reading the Dublin Trilogy in order, but since it's Christmas I wanted to read the new Bunny story and it didn't disappoint! I enjoyed the Bunny/Butch police duo and the way the crimes are intertwined with the title is pretty good. I felt the first half of the book took longer to finish as it was less amusing (hence the 4 stars), but all in all it was a great entertaning read. Bunny McGarry is the anti-hero we all could use in our lives.
