À propos de cet audio

A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn’t easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with detective constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim.

The torso turns out to be all that’s left of an American tourist who once served in the U.S. military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles? The trail leads to the doorstep of a beautiful, flame-haired, twentysomething widow, whose husband died at the hands of an IRA assassination team just a few months before. Suddenly Duffy is caught between his romantic instincts, gross professional misconduct, and powerful men he should know better than to mess with. These include British intelligence, the FBI, and local paramilitary death squads - enough to keep even the savviest detective busy. Duffy’s growing senseof self-doubt isn’t helping. But as a legendarily stubborn man, he doesn’t let that stop him from pursuing the case to its explosive conclusion.

Entertaining Irish Mystery-Thriller

Adrian McKinty continues his series of crime investigations set in Northern Ireland at the height of "The Troubles". Royal Ulster Constabulary Detective-Inspector Sean Duffy hunts down the perpetrator of the killing/dismemberment of an American visiting Ireland to help his sister and involving the unsolved PIRA murder of an Irish farmer/soldier. The investigation is paced beautifully, twisty-turny, and colored with innumerable political & personal complications. McKinty's setting is a bit heavyhanded in its harshness, but it's plausible and makes for a unique atmosphere.
The true star of the tale, however, is the endlessly fascinating Detective Duffy: intuitive, dedicated, inquisitive, professional/almost deferential with superiors.. but also foul-mouthed, bitingly sarcastic, absolutely obsessed with music, and comfortable buying narcotics off the street & stealing confiscated hashish from police lock-up to smoke while raging about a disintegrating relationship with a colleague and sleeping with witnesses. Talk about an intriguing character.

Less fortunately, Gerard Doyle's narration is best described as "unspectacular" on this project. His diction is spot-on, his natural Irish brogue fits the text perfectly, and his voice-acting is commendable - but his complete lack of emotiveness when reading pathos-heavy dialogue and action scenes is baffling.

Altogether, 'I Hear The Sirens In The Street' rates 6.5 stars out of 10. It's nowhere near the best in the series but was a great option for a couple of quiet afternoons of distraction. On to Book Three..
