I ordered Requiems For the Departed and am looking forward to checking out some of the other Irish authors that way, (I think Ken Bruen is in that one).Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-55896899974335921942010-08-06T05:56:28.267-05:002010-08-06T05:56:28.267-05:00Nice review.

And how life in general works out for Ed. It might be awhile before I get to the next one, but I do plan to get to it. I'm in a "mixing it up" kick lately and I'm having fun going through different authors, (and as a result, the books already on my shelf are getting neglected). I'll add Ross MacDonald to my list.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-28931739547706082722010-08-04T23:40:45.105-05:002010-08-04T23:40:45.105-05:00I have to say that I read the first one and though...I have to say that I read the first one and though I liked it very much, I didn't actually get around to the second for quite awhile. But when I did, I immediately wanted the third, and the only reason I haven't gone on to 4 and 5 (which are reputed to take the series to a whole new level) in a jiff is that I have other reading assignments ahead of them.<br /><br />In the second one, I was really struck how much he reminded me of Ross MacDonald, who was the heir apparent to Raymond Chandler. Hughes acknowledges the debt by selecting quotations from him. You could read a couple of MacDonald's and see if you agree. <br /><br />I must say that I think you have the reviewing thing down. You get across the important points without spoiling the story for anyone. Hope you'll at some point go on to the others, as they're strong. I particularly like Loy's relationship with Tommy, sidekick from hell...seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
