I'm definitely adding this to my list...although I think I'll start with The Cold Cold Ground.

But I have a lot of other Irish writers I really like as well. Ken Bruen, Declan Burke, Declan Hughes, Stuart Neville, Colin Bateman, Gerard Brennan--they all have something to add to the mix. For some reason I haven't gotten to Tana French yet, I have no idea why. I think it was probably just the bookseller's syndrome which can manifest as an aversion to massive popularity.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-23758836588039091422014-12-03T12:12:38.395-05:002014-12-03T12:12:38.395-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-69772632366169447392014-12-03T10:09:51.434-05:002014-12-03T10:09:51.434-05:00I just read the first one, as you know - THE COLD ...I just read the first one, as you know - THE COLD COLD GROUND - and liked it very much. It is set in 1981 during the Hunger Strikes and the run-up to the Royal Wedding. That was the exact period we were in Ireland (though across the border in the South) and it all seems right. I liked his first person narration too. I have book two on order.<br /><br />Jeff M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-5968117436921096942014-12-03T10:01:17.339-05:002014-12-03T10:01:17.339-05:00I'm amazed that you read the 3rd book in a tri...I'm amazed that you read the 3rd book in a trilogy without reading the earlier books first.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.com
