A review by michaeldrakich
Dead Irish by John Lescroart
5.0
As thrillers go, this is a good one. You keep thinking the story is going to go one way, but then it takes off on some other tangent, keeping you on your toes.
I really liked the writing style. This story was a real easy read and engaged me throughout. I found all of the characters identifiable and enjoyed the author's ability to introduce some levity now and then in a tense story. It made it seem real as people are always wise-cracking in real life.
In truth, I wanted to give this four and a half stars, holding back half because there was some plausibility denial on my part near the end, but only a little. In the end I relented to the five stars because of how well it reads.
