Gun Street Girl is great; I'm so glad that Adrian McKinty has given
readers another novel starring Belfast cop Sean Duffy, whose
earlier exploits were described in the terrific Troubles trilogy.
Don't miss any of the four.-- "Nancy Pearl, author of Book
Lust"
A thrilling, thoroughly fantastic murder mystery with countless
twists and turns that take readers to the darkest parts of Belfast
and some huge cover-ups within the Irish and British governments.--
"RT Book Reviews (4 stars)"
Gerard Doyle gives a stunning narration of...the beat-down, highly
complex Royal Ulster Constabulary inspector. Simultaneously,
Duffy's protégé, Alexander Lawson, possesses the unrestrained
wonder and eagerness of an optimistic youth. Doyle portrays these
opposites with an elegant grace that makes listeners forget he's
even there. From the subtle changes in dialect to McKinty's
distinct writing cadence and dark humor, Doyle hones in on the
details that make this procedural a joy to listen to. Winner of the
AudioFile Earphones Award.-- "AudioFile"
I had been saddened at the thought that this series had ended.
Imagine my delight; McKinty has now written a fourth book...Read
all four. They are phenomenal.-- "Sun Herald (Biloxi,
Mississippi)"
Mixes a mordant wit and casual, unpredictable violence that vividly
portrays a turbulent time...McKinty is in full command of language,
plot, and setting in a terrifying period of history that sometimes
seems forgotten. Fans of gritty Northern Irish crime writers such
as Stuart Neville, Declan Hughes, and Brian McGilloway will enjoy
this talented author.-- "Library Journal (starred review)"
There's plenty of entertaining territorial battling between the
dizzying array of law-enforcement agencies acting in Belfast, and
Duffy's investigative skills seem somehow sharpened by his lost
hope.-- "Booklist (starred review)"
