"Either I didn't drink enough coffee today, or the plot of this book is hard to follow. Eight years ago there was a big heist, and some dozen characters were either involved in the heist or played a role in its cover-up. Some of those characters are n...more"

"A good police procedural thriller with the twist of the backdrop of the troubles in Belfast in the 80's. Well written, pacy, with good character development. Looses its way a little at the end as it tries to pack too much in, but overall an enjoyable...more"

"I really expected more from this book and this author. Truly one of the worst British drawing room mysteries I have ever read. Could care less about Daisy Dalrymple and the "mystery" which wasn't identified until page 51 of the book and by ...more"

"Robin Cook-lite. That's what I'd say about this book. Didn't really hold my attention, the main characters were lifeless and flat, and the intrigue wasn't nearly as intriguing as it should have been."
Sanjida Kamal said:
"This was a good psychological thriller. It kept you guessing until the end. The twist came out of nowhere but it wasn't in a way that made all the other clues seem irrelevant, which can happen sometimes. Some authors put in a surprise twist in the en...more"

"Since King Suckerman was my introduction to Pelecanos, it was good to see him return to the '70s. While it probably has less to say than some of his works, it was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon."

"This book is something of a follow-up to Newton's debut novel, Calumet City, though only minor characters actually overlap between the two books. Which was perhaps the only disappointing thing about this book - I wanted more of an update about Patti ...more"

"I think Pelecanos is a great crime writer. For some reason, I had a hard time getting into this one. Maybe it was just my mood! I did enjoy the trip down memory lane, singing along when he mentioned each new song title from the 60s or 70s."

The Irish mystery writer reveals the narrator of her next Dublin Murder Squad book and discusses her latest whodunit, Faithful Place.
“I don't wanna take my time going to work, I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag and ten or fifteen girls. What the hell I wanna go off and go to work for? Work for what? Money? I got all the money in the world. I'm the king, man. I run the underworld, guy. I decide who does what and where they do it at. What am I gonna run around like some teeny bopper somewhere for someone elses money? I make the money man, I roll the nickels. The game is mine. I deal the cards”
