for the previous Peter McGarr mystery
DEATH OF A JOYCE SCHOLAR
“AN ABSOLUTE JOY…A PROFOUNDLY CLEVER LITERARY MYSTERY”
The New York Times Book Review
“WITTY, INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGING, TENDER AND SAD…
A police procedural that defies the limits of its genre…The dialogue sings with an Irish lilt. The purebred Irish characters are true and memorable…A RICHLY TEXTURED, INTRICATE NOVEL THAT EXAMINES THE IRISH PSYCHE AS WELL AS A MURDER.”
Washington Post Book World
“A RARE BALANCE OF OLD WORLD MYSTERY, CHARM AND MODERN SHENANIGANS”
Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A PLEASURE…AS LIVELY A SET OF CHARACTERS AS EVER SPARKED A YEARNING FOR DUBLIN…The chase is headlong and fun to follow.”
Philadelphia Inquirer
“A RICH, GRAND BOOK”
Denver Post
