About this listen

 In his new life as a bartender at the Little Shamrock, Dismas Hardy is just hoping for a little peace. He's left both the police force and his law career behind. Unfortunately it's not as easy to leave behind the memory of a shattering personal loss - but for the time being, he can always take the edge off with a stiff drink and a round of darts.

But when the news of Eddie Cochran's death reaches him, Hardy is propelled back into all the things he was trying to escape - and forced to untangle a web of old secrets and raw passions, for the sake of Eddie's pregnant widow, Frannie, and for the others whose lives may still be at risk.

This is a good book without being exceptional. The guilty party became obvious form about one third of the way in. The motive was not, in my opinion, credible.

An average thriller

A great performance by Mr. David Colacci, laid back and funny in the right places.

A great start

I really liked the book and I think considering it was written in 1988 it has was not to bad in terms of sexism and the likes. Sometimes a bit heavy on the characters feelings, when not with the main protagonists, but all in all a good listen. I am definitely going to buy the next in the series.

Good first book in series

What disappointed you about Dead Irish?

I found this very difficult to follow. I re-started a couple of times, but it was too boring to get really involved. The narrator was fine.
