Summary
This book is a standalone prequel to The Dublin Trilogy.
For Detective Bunny McGarry, life is complicated, and it is about to get more so.
It’s 1999 and his hard won reputation amongst Dublin’s criminal fraternity, for being a massive pain in the backside, is unfortunately shared by his bosses. His partner has a career-threatening gambling problem and, oh yeah, Bunny's finally been given a crack at the big time. He’s set the task of bringing down the most skilled and ruthless armed robbery gang in Irish history. So the last thing he needs in his life is yet another complication.
Her name is Simone. She is smart, funny, talented and, well, complicated. When her shocking past turns up to threaten her and Bunny’s chance at a future, things get very complicated indeed. If the choice is upholding the law or protecting those he loves, which way will the big fella turn?
Angels in the Moonlight is part of Caimh McDonnell’s critically acclaimed Dublin Trilogy series, which melds fast-paced action with a distinctly Irish acerbic wit, and it is complicated.
Angels in the Moonlight was selected as a book of the month in the Rick O'Shea bookclub, Ireland's largest bookclub.
Praise for Angels in the Moonlight
“Quite possibly the best book I’ve read this year. The writing is tremendous; Caimh McDonnell has a gift for storytelling and leads his readers on a merry journey through his books, regaling them with humour and wit.” (The Quiet Knitter)
“Angels in the Moonlight is bloody brilliant. McDonnell doesn’t put a foot wrong. Perfection on a page!” (Bloomin’ Brilliant Books)
“This Dublin-based police procedural has an intriguing, multi-pronged plot that flows smoothly without getting bogged down by details. Mystery fans will enjoy the roller-coaster ride. The prose is clean, sharp, and lively. This mystery, deftly seasoned with humor and Irish slang, is memorable and powerful. The characters are compelling and well-developed. From protagonist Detective Bunny McGarry and his fellow coppers to peripheral characters like the streetwise nuns, this book is full of memorable characters.” (The Booklife Prize from Publisher’s Weekly)

Hooked
This was my first book by Caimh McDonnell and I was thoroughly hooked from the start. A crime book with dark humour was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed it very much. The narration by Morgan C Jones really brings the characters to life and helps the story move along seamlessly.

Who doesn't like Bunny
Very funny, well read as always, Morgan C Jones nailing it. Really enjoying these books. Is Caimh really pronounced phonetically as Qweeve? No wonder the fella has a sense of humour.

I bloody love these books
Re listening to the series in the order they happen for the characters rather than the order they were written in! I love them just as much this time. Bunny is my absolute favourite literary character ever!!

The narrator is something else - I didn't want it to end!!! I'm off to start the next one. Bunny is the best character ever.

A slow burner but totally worth it!
So as recommended, I listened to this book before finishing the Dublin trilogy. it was definitely more of a slow burner than the others and I found it took me slighter longer to be gripped - this may be due to the fact that I needed to start liking a previously unlikeable character. As always though, this was another great book. brilliantly written, and fantastically narrated (I really cannot rate the narrator highly enough). It was both exciting and moving and, whether or not it does improve the third book in the Dublin trilogy, is definitely worth a listen/read just to learn about Bunny's background.
