The Searcher - Tana French

 

Where to start, whilst the beginning is normally the best place. This book whilst following the path from start to finish, this bounces around. This is not a complaint it flows well even if it deviates in places.

OK, for starters, there's a a retired Chicago cop who has moved to Ireland for a quiet life, the troubled family; that everyone knows, the missing teenager and the big boys from Dublin. Oh yes, and the villagers.

I don't want to give to much away, as this is something that you need to read. Hats off, this really is THAT GOOD.

Night Boat to Tangier - Kevin Barry

 Audiobook

OK, so its not very often that I do one of these, but I had a fairly long drive, and thought as I change  to music, Audiobook.

Written and read by the author. Whose, Irish accent rolled over vowels in the way in which only the Irish can.

The book starts and ends in a ferry port in Spain. Two older gentlemen (using the term lightly),  there on the off chance that they may spot someone.

Said gentlemen both had a colourful past, being drug barons, moving coke, hash, crack and heroin. Using them all as well.

There's the usual sidelines of property and bars around for laundering.

Keep an eye out for the occultist dealer, she brings a light all of her own to the book.
