Um...I was a bit disappointed with this, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be especially after reading the blurb on the back cover. It was the first Ken Bruen I've read, but I think I may go and try one of the others in the Jack Taylor series just to give Bruen the benefit of the doubt. Having said that he did give a really good "travelogue" of Galway, I suppose if you were going there you could use the book a s a bit of a tongue in cheek guide.
