4.0 out of 5 stars Quick, Cancel Your Trip to Ireland!, June 11, 2006
By www.mikemaclean.net "Mike" (Tempe, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

The characters inhabiting this anthology would pistol-whip a leprechaun and roll the little fairy into a dark alley.

In only 228 pages, Dublin Noir offers up nineteen bullet-fast tales full of blood, deceit, booze and "black Irish humor." Dealers, thieves, killers, and bottom-feeders all wrestle off the page, thanks to a talented mix of new and established writers. By the time you finish their stories, you'll want to sit down in a pub and share a pint with them.

Edited by the Irish king of noir himself, Ken Bruen, Dublin Noir won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Darkness, June 18, 2008
By Jill "Traveler" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
I am a real fan of the Noir series, and this one lives up to my expectations. Authors both new to me and familiar each creates a story in which Dublin is the location. Not all writers are Irish, so there are many points of view, and lots of intriguing episodes. Since I am visiting Dublin in the fall, this is great background for me. It really puts me in the mood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 26, 2008
By JamesBey (Istanbul) - See all my reviews
Blood and guts galore. Not very original or entertaining. One of the lesser works in the series.
