Thoughts on Dublin Dead

I read Gerard's novel The Priest at the beginning of this year and it was dark, well paced and distinctly Irish. I rarely take arcs with when I travel but I was happy to make an exception for this. Dublin Dead is a worthy follow up set bang up to date in the midst of the Irish financial crisis and as each twist and turn of the story unfolded, I couldn't help feeling that this book would translate well to TV, I was even casting actors in my head. O'Donovan is a great writer he has the gift of letting you think you know what's going on, giving you the facts and allowing you to jump to the wrong conclusions. If you like Tana French or Irish crime in general the you are going to love Dublin Dead (released in March full review then)
