Our Sean!

I'd never read this author before but I won a copy of this book in a group give-away. I'm grateful for the win and glad that I read it.

The mystery/procedural part of the story (even if unsurprising) works fairly well. The “romance” though seems a bit rushed

RTC

After the events of the last book our Sean is sitting pretty ... until he isn't. Belfast in the 80's will do things to a body and our boy is one of those who only learns the hard way. Like we all do.

Needless to say I'm all in with this series and I'm on to the next book. Audio of course.

As an aside if you need to restock your music library Sean is your man. He's got impecable taste.

this NYT review decided me

The book is structured as an investigation into Shields's own psyche and particular tastes. He is masochistic to his marrow — not just sexually. “I check the Mariners score on my phone, hoping they've won but needing them to lose.”

Yep. I need to read this.
