Love these set of books!

Extremely authentic feel of the Irish police service.

So upset I have finished them. Hurry up and write another

I recommend! Hard to put down, very well written!

The elements of this book I liked were that ends were not all tied up, the slightly depressive quality of sadness and loss that everyone carries and psychopaths are not all wire in the blood serial killers.

It's not deep literature, but as a man I found it interesting and gripping. I am not sure all women would feel the same as an earlier criticism points out.

I downloaded the book, because it appeared in the list of recommended thrillers in the Telegraph. I enjoyed reading the first half. The setting is quite interesting, although the characters stay indistinct stereotypes that I couldn't relate to. Another aspect is that the male protagonist just acts like a prototypical male rather than an actual person. Male writers are often criticised that they can't write believable female characters. The same seems to apply vice versa. At least I couldn't understand why this tough detective guy thinks so much about clothing.

The most disappointing things it the end though. I don't want to spoil anyones reading, but I'm sure it won't be what anyone expected or wanted to read.
