Reviews with the most likes.
The first chapter starts off wonderfully and just keeps up the very high standards I now have for a Sean Duffy episode. This series is, for me a perfect mix of historical, whodunnity, wit, erudition. I am thanking the powers that be that McKinty has hit commercial success with his standalones in the hope that he can continue popping out these gems.
For my 1st award winning book for 2019, Edgar award for 2017 for Best Paperback Original! Takes place in Ireland in the 1980's (Had a bit of trouble with some of the Irish slang) and this is book 5 in a series of Detective Sean Duffy books! Woman found dead in a castle where there is no way in or out!!
How was it done and why!! Great mystery, Read the Book! David N
