5.0 out of 5 starsMy favorite from an excellent series!

If you look at his other books you are about to see that I'm about to place eight reviews in a row copied and pasted, with maybe a few tweaks per book, because I've read through eight of these in the span of six weeks! I don't remember if I ever reviewed a book before (much less a series), but I am enjoying Caimh McDonnell's writings so much that I feel the need to just add some 5-star reviews on each of the books I've read. I've even started buying signed copies of many of his books from his website after having read all of these on Kindle.
So I haven't read much recently, and I don't even remember how I came across this first book to even start, but once I did I just wanted to keep going non-stop! I have really enjoyed each book immensely. I just love the characters and the humor throughout the whole series. I'm one of those people that usually fall asleep while reading, but not with these. I can (and have) read these books for hours on end. I can't recommend these enough for anyone. Just really that enjoyable.
This is the third book of the series as it was written, but since it's one of many prequels, it is the first book chronologically. This one is my favorite of the eight books I have read so far. They are all great and I'm giving the whole series that I read so far a five-star review, but to me this one just stands out. I guess I want to say it is more poignant than the others as it dives deeper into the main character on an emotional level while still maintaining the author's trademark humor throughout a fairly dark crime thriller. This is one I will definitely go back to read again once I have finished the three main series with these characters.
