I started the third in this trilogy as soon as I finished this one, Sean Duffy is delightfully flawed and the '80s Irish setting is fascinating and horrifying at the same time, like watching a trainwreck.
I also listened to
Scurvy by Stephen Bown/Dan Cashman, a pretty interesting look at "The Age of Sail" and the mysterious illness that claimed millions of lives.
I realized that I neglected to mention a few others I've finished recently,
Lightning by Dean Koontz,
Flying Too High by Kerry Greenwood, and
Daybreak by Viktor Amas Ingolfsson. The first was a little dull and I found it difficult to buy the premise, the second was flapper Phryne Fisher to the rescue which is always fun, the third was a tense murder mystery set in Iceland which focused on goose hunters, slow at the start, but it picked up momentum.
