Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-16 00:00:00 Nadia Ramirez Moreno On the site of the Donegal gold mine, the long-buried body of a mummified woman in the peat bog was somewhat of a shock. When Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin inspected the site, he had no idea what the find would draw him into. Illegal immigrants, people smuggling, murder and organised crime were just some of the problems Ben faced in the coming days. But it was the opinion of his superior, Harry Patterson, that Ben was continually getting it wrong - and making things worse for everyone else. So when Ben was suspended for two weeks, what else could he do but continue to investigate… But when Ben was targeted, then a friend was murdered, he knew he was deeply involved - and in danger of becoming a statistic himself. Would he find the answers he sought? Or would he be in more bother than ever before? Bleed a River Deep is the 3rd in the Inspector Devlin series by Brian McGilloway and is an intense and heart stopping crime/thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat! Set in Ireland, I loved the descriptions of the countryside - the author made it easy for me to visualise it all. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-18 00:00:00 Deanna Cooper I like this author and enjoyed the book but didn't feel it was up to earlier books' standards. There were some surprises but really not much mystery. There was one character introduced that I am sure we will hear from, again. One thing I always like is the interaction between Devlin and his wife. They are so obviously in love and have a good marriage. Most books in this genre have the police person in a bad or troubled marriage. Refreshing difference! I will continue to read McGilloway's books even though this one wasn't as good in my opinion.
