Summary

Jack Taylor, a disgraced ex-cop in Galway, has slid further down the slope of despair. After a year in London, he returns to his home town of Galway with a leather coat and a coke habit. Someone is systematically slaughtering young travellers and dumping their bodies in the city centre.

Even in the state he's in, Jack Taylor has an uncanny ability to know where to look, what questions to ask, and with the aid of an English policeman, apparently solves the case.

Second book from this series in a week.

What can I say, this is the second book in a week I've listened to this week. Can't seem to get enough of Jack Taylor, both in books and TV series.

Ahh Jacks at it again

What made the experience of listening to The Killing of the Tinkers the most enjoyable?

There's a lot in this story. It builds nicely and quickly and keeps your interest all the way through. It shows our hero to be as fallible as ever, maybe more so. Sometimes it's difficult to empathise with him and it's all the better for that. Great character, really well written.
