Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-04 00:00:00 Blala Dada I chose to read this after watching the film of Glynn's book The Dark Fields (re-titled as 'Limitless' and set in America rather than Ireland) which has marvellous plotting. This novel too would be very filmable, but I hope the setting would remain in Dublin. It doesn't have such an endearing protagonist as in Dark Fields, but it is a good example of the genre - Irish noir - in the same company as Adrian McKinty and Declan Hughes.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-14 00:00:00 Alex Carter Alan Glynn intrigue in politico and criminal worlds within Dublin, Ireland. For me, this one didn't work as well for unique plays or tension as his others. Still a good read with excellent writing and prose flow. Only recommend if you like fairly dark and brutal. Noir more than cozy. Language foul is always used more than it needs to be.
