Adrian McKinty

In the days after the Awards Ceremony it's wonderful to watch the congratulations for much deserved winners rolling in.

It's always a Good New Year when you open a book from Adrian McKinty and from the starting paragraph you're hooked. 

From the Blurb:

It’s just the same things over and again for Sean Duffy: riot duty, heartbreak, cases he can solve but never get to court. But what detective gets two locked-room mysteries in one career?

There is little better in the reading world than finding out that the end of the Trilogy, was just the third book in the series. When IN THE MORNING I'LL BE GONE was... well gone there were more than a few of us readers a bit sad. And then the announcement of a fourth book which makes it a series, and made for some very happy dancing in these parts at least.

From the Blurb:

I've had a week off work and did a spot of reading catchup - so now I'm doing a spot of posting catchup, which will be followed by a spot of reviewing catchup. But the best thing was a chance to read this departure from the expected from Adrian McKinty.

From the Blurb:

Bittersweet this one - I've so been looking forward to the final Sean Duffy book, and now it's hear and I've read it. What next?

From the Blurb:

I was reminded again just how bloody good this series is when the first book in the series, The Cold, Cold Ground was discussed on 4MA(link is external) - the conversation made me go back and rethink the book a lot.

Can't tell you how pleased I was to open up the parcels this morning and find this gem - although it is a bit bittersweet, what with it being the third book in the Troubles Trilogy. Still - it's a long weekend coming up, and I'm pretty sure that's a slight ... <cough> ... I feel coming on, which might mean that a few engagements might <cough> have to be cancelled as I'd swear this is a tad of a summer <cough> cold I can feel coming on...
