Summary
Edgar Award winner, Best Paperback Original, 2017.
Rain Dogs, a stunning installment in the Sean Duffy thriller series, following the Edgar Award-nominated Gun Street Girl, is "another standout in a superior series" (Booklist).
It's just the same things over and again for Sean Duffy: riot duty, heartbreak, cases he can solve but never get to court. But what detective gets two locked-room mysteries in one career?
When journalist Lily Bigelow is found dead in the courtyard of Carrickfergus castle, it looks like a suicide. Yet there are a few things that bother Duffy just enough to keep the case file open, which is how he finds out that Bigelow was working on a devastating investigation of corruption and abuse at the highest levels of power in the UK and beyond. And so Duffy has two impossible problems on his desk: Who killed Lily Bigelow? And what were they trying to hide?

Storytelling and poetry tugging at your memory all the time
First time I have listened to a Adrian McGinty novel and it took me a little while to settle into it, the style and the narration. Initially I could not make my mind up if it was a black comedy or a genuine whodunnit whilst looking at that period of history in Ireland. But I loved this book, possibly a bit because I lived during this chaos which touched everyone. Well worth the investment of the time.

A Binge Listener
I've been binge listening the entirely improbable adventures of Sean Duffy, as he fights his way through the Northern Irish troubles and encounters many of the famous personalities and events if the 1980s. I know how unlikely it is that one person should have had so many close calls with history, but that hasn't slowed me down for a minute. I'm straight on to vol 6 now.

McKinty delivers again.
Excellent story with lots of twists and turns. Interesting use of Jimmy Saville and other scandals intertwined with Sean Duffy to give an added edge and suspension of disbelief underlaid with gallows humour .

Slow burner with little action and clichè occurrences.
Invested about 5 hours and was comforted by the softly spoken narrator but the story lacks depth.
My first attempt at a Duffy book and not the usual high paced detective thriller I wanted. Overall, I thought it was quite boring.

I think this is a fair representation of what northern Ireland was like in the trouble's, the story is good and I listened to the end.
