When Irish eyes are not smiling...,

This review is from: DROWN ALL THE DOGS (Paperback)
"Down all the Dogs" is a powerful followup to the first two novels of Adcock's Hockaday series. It nearly reaches the same great level as the first, but doesn't quite get there. Neil Hockaday, our detective hero, goes to Ireland to see his uncle Liam, but finds a lot more than he bargained for. Secret Fascists, IRA madmen, and dirty Irish cops figure into a long and bitter feud that Hock is a mere pawn in. Meanwhile in New York, his "rabbi" Davy has to deal with an old conspiracy that claims a few lives. Great novel, with a dark and shocking ending. You'll never see Ireland the same again.

This review is from: Drown All the Dogs (A Neil Hockaday Mystery) (Paperback)
Drifting like a fine mist between legend and legacy, between dreams and waking, this dense and vibrant third work in a series is as charmas as an Irish brogue...A major step forward for the novelist...from the back cover.

This review is from: DROWN ALL THE DOGS (Paperback)
This is not a good book. It has odd, unhappy people. It drags on and is too talky. And, we know, we know, if it was mentioned once it was mentioned twenty times- it has an inter-racial romance between a smooth, black woman and a white dolt. How clever.
