Edgar Award winner, Best Paperback Original, 2017.

Rain Dogs, a stunning installment in the Sean Duffy thriller series, following the Edgar Award-nominated Gun Street Girl, is "another standout in a superior series" (Booklist).

It's just the same things over and again for Sean Duffy: riot duty, heartbreak, cases he can solve but never get to court. But what detective gets two locked-room mysteries in one career?

When journalist Lily Bigelow is found dead in the courtyard of Carrickfergus castle, it looks like a suicide. Yet there are a few things that bother Duffy just enough to keep the case file open, which is how he finds out that Bigelow was working on a devastating investigation of corruption and abuse at the highest levels of power in the UK and beyond. And so Duffy has two impossible problems on his desk: Who killed Lily Bigelow? And what were they trying to hide?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"McKinty expertly balances Duffy's tense and suspenseful investigation with the political tensions of the region." ( Publishers Review)
"McKinty manages a second locked-room success...another standout in a superior series, combining terrific plotting with evocative historical detail." ( Booklist)
"The tension between McKinty's competing love of tight, formal puzzles and loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a tremendous joy." ( The Guardian)
Intricate Plot • Witty Dialogue • Masterful Narration • Complex Protagonist • Dark Humor • Historical Backdrop

Detective Sean Duffy novels are good cop stuff set in an excellent backdrop ("The Troubles" in Ireland). Rain Dogs delivers all the gritty and humorous material we have come to expect from Adrian McKinty's erudite, but seemingly feckless (he's not…it's a ruse), Detective Inspector Duffy. However, if you are this far along in the series you don't need a lecture on that…

What I want my fellow listeners to grock is that Gerard Doyle, our reader, is one of the top five narrators in the world…unbelievably enjoyable to hear in your earbuds and totally believable as he shifts characters (male or female). HIs Irish brogue, thick or thin, is classic BBC teletheater.

This series is great, although when you begin your search click on the narrator's name first to see what he has to offer. Amazing stuff!

The Narrator IS the Story

Adrian McKinty is one of the best story tellers of our time. In Rain Dogs he is at his very best. Gerard iDoyle is one of the best narrators. In Rain Dogs he is at his very best.

This Detective Sean Duffy police procedural, Book 5 in the series, is set in 1987 during turbulent times in Northern Ireland. Among other things the story is about the apparent death by suicide of a journalist at a castle. If it is murder then there appears to be only on possible culprit. Duffy sets out to solve the mystery.

This novel is as much about Sean Duffy's personal life as about the murder case. In telling this compelling story McKinty almost magically weaves the case and the personal together to where they are one.

I believed that this series would end with five books. A twist at the end casts doubt on my assumption.

Rain Dogs has mystery but little action or suspense. It is a great story well told.

I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rain Dogs not just to mystery/thriller enthusiasts but to all who like a good story.

With McKinty it's about the story!

This one is a classic, solidly excellent McKinty novel narrated by the equally excellent Gerard Doyle. I think I couldn't bear to hear Sean Duffy speak unless it was through Doyle's masterful voice. I liked this novel (just as I have McKinty's prior) simply because it is a good story -- another "locked room" murder mystery that begs the listener to try to solve it before the answers are revealed in the book. McKinty's use of abbreviated "self talk" from Duffy makes the characters and story very, very real. The solution to this mystery isn't a simple one, and I dare say it will keep you guessing well into the night after an evening listen. Great listen!

Wonderful McKinty and Doyle Partnership

Sean Duffy series is one of my favorite McKinty novels. But I love them all. Keep them coming.

Adrian McKinty keeps getting better. Sean Duffy, the smart alec, world weary dogged Catholic RUC inspector can’t help but find himself involved murders with political overtones. The dialogue is superb. Even the corny jokes make me laugh. Gerard Doyle is absolutely perfect narrator. The detail from the times and Duffy’s taste in music give the series a true feeling of being alive in the 80’s.

Five stars all around

As always the language is extradonary. Terrific narration. Wonderful to see the growth of Duffy All in all as good as it gets. Can't wait for the next one.

Another fabulous Sean Duffy

Murder mysteries are my guilty pleasure, but this was satisfying on so many levels. Most importantly, I could spend 10 hours with Sean Duffy every day! A smart and funny protagonist is a true gift- the narrator did an excellent job. Touched on important social-cultural issues in unexpected ways. I found this title on the Edgar Alan Poe winners' list, and I will be going back to look for more!

6 stars!

The book starts slowly and is very deliberate in places. The characters are well crafted and the plot interesting. The narrator with his soft Irish accent is outstanding.

Slow pace Well crafted
