Book 12 of Emery’s “Collins-Burke” mystery series begins in the public-housing tenements on Fenian Street in Dublin. Shay Rynne and his family live in a small apartment in a community that prizes family and honor above all else. Although members of his community have traditionally not been welcomed into the Garda Síochána, the Irish police force, he has always wanted to join. A close friend’s murder changes everything for Shay. Hoping to help with the investigation, he joins the force, quickly solving the crime and boosting his reputation. Meanwhile, another unsolved murder at the home of a notorious criminal nags at him, propelling him into action when it appears that his own family may be implicated in the crime. The audio is enhanced by the skills of narrator Ashley O’Connell, who employs excellent renditions of Irish and New York accents.
VERDICT Set in Dublin in the 1970s during a time of unrest over the question of a united Ireland, this book should appeal to readers who appreciate atmospheric, historical mysteries. Recommend to fans of Tana French’s “Dublin Murder Squad” series.
