Gun Street Girl: A Detective Sean Duffy Novel | 
so-soIch habe das Buch voller Erwartung begonnen. Es hat sich leider nicht erfüllt. Gestört hat mich dass er manche Dinge nur mit Verben erklärt hat. Die Personen gingen mir nicht in den Kopf. Den Schluss habe ich quer gelesen. Die Zusammenhänge habe ich viel früher verstanden. Das Buch spielt 1985, also in meiner Jugend. Mir waren die Ereignisse im Hintergrund noch sehr vertraut.ich werde aber kein weiteres Buch dieser Serie lesen.
Spooky to read this on a Boris day like today!
pickDid Michael Kelly kill his parents and then kill himself? Duffy suspects otherwise. Is an Oxford party where a cabinet member's daughter dies of a heroin overdose involved. Northern Ireland 1985 Irish Troubles. Dark and witty humor.
Adrian McKinty's writing gives you a sense of atmosphere of Northern Ireland. Plot moves quickly. I look forward to reading Rain Dogs next and I would recommend this series to those who love mystery thrillers.
pickThis series just gets better and better. Sean Duffy is an excellent character and these are set at the time of the Irish Troubles, and have a sprinkling of events that happened at the time incorporated into them. Sean certainly doesn‘t know how to take no for an answer, and doesn‘t do things the easy way. Relationships seem to be an issue for him, & you often feel he is a loner. He doesn‘t give into authority and sees things through. Recommended.
Finally getting to start Gun Street Girl, the fourth book in the Sean Duffy Series.

Einev Erinnerung an meine Zeit auf Norderney. Ein Buch durfte auf der Insel bleiben, dieses begleitet mich zurück nach Bayern.
pickBelfast 1985, Sean Duffy is a Catholic cop in the Ulster Protestant police force. Murder and suicide leads to MI5 and Americans in arms deal. Cynical, dark, and very satisfying!
pickBook 4 of the sean duffy series is another cracking police procedural set in 1980's Belfast at the height of the troubles. Dark humour, excellent plotting, and constant political machinations make these books great reads. In this book duffy investigates an apparent straight forward domestic murder and suicide which quickly brings into play l poltical heavy hitters in all senses of the word with echoes of the contra affair. Pic is of a sleepy dog.
There's an awful lot of 80s music references in this series.
pickFifth in The Troubles series. I'm surprised by how much I've enjoyed the books as, going by blurb, I shouldn't like them! McKinty is a really good writer, knows how to create atmosphere. This is possibly the only book of the series that can be read as a standalone, but I recommend starting from book one. Audiobooks read by that superb narrator Gerard Doyle
