Rain Dogs is a very interesting installment of the Sean Duffy series. Set in 1987, in a suburb of Belfast, Sean Duffy investigates what looks like a locked room mystery. Again. And just like the last time, something just doesn't sit well with him. 

I'm not sure how I felt about the ending, since it was a little odd. Just like the rest of the series, everything is tied up in a neat little bow, but there were some lose ends this time, along with a rather minor character from the beginning of the book having an important role in the last few chapters.

Hopeful installation in the Sean Duffy novels. I really enjoyed this one, and the quality remains solid throughout. Listened to it on audible, and the narrator is brilliant.
