My first Sean Duffy novel and not my last. Where have I been I ask myself to not have met this guy in my literary travels. Well Sean, I do apologise and I will now have a Guinness with you and try to put things right.
Belfast during the troubles is a great premise for a crime novel given the heightened sense of doubt and changing loyalties. We all know to some extent what went on but never enough so to revisit it from the inside and see how the police worked during this time really had me hooked.
Sean Duffy is also a guy you would want on your side. He’s funny despite the time and situation, loves his music and talks about it all the time and is an all round good guy. I want to meet the others in earlier books now – Duffy and Crabbie – even their names sound interesting.
I now need to read the other books in the series and hope that book six is not far behind. Really stands out from the crowd this one. Highly recommended!
