À propos de cet audio

Winner of the 2014 Ned Kelly Award and a 2015 Audie Award nominee for best mystery

A Catholic cop tracks an IRA master bomber amidst the sectarian violence of the conflict in Northern Ireland

It's the early 1980s in Belfast. Sean Duffy, a conflicted Catholic cop in the Protestant RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary), is recruited by MI5 to hunt down Dermot McCann, an IRA master bomber who has made a daring escape from the notorious Maze prison. In the course of his investigations Sean discovers a woman who may hold the key to Dermot's whereabouts; she herself wants justice for her daughter who died in mysterious circumstances in a pub locked from the inside. Sean knows that if he can crack the "locked-room mystery", the bigger mystery of Dermot's whereabouts might be revealed to him as a reward. Meanwhile the clock is ticking down to the Conservative Party conference in Brighton in 1984, where Mrs. Thatcher is due to give a keynote speech.

Story and characters are almost real. Exceptionally well drawn and developed.
Suspenseful and wise. Brilliant narration! Sounded like the author was reading his own story!
Thank you Mr. McKinty

Exceptionally good book!

This captivating, nicely-paced "locked-room" Mystery set in Northern Ireland during "The Troubles" is well-written and brilliantly plotted. Royal Ulster Constabulary Detective-Inspector Sean Duffy needs to solve the mysterious death of an IRA operative's daughter in order to get her to betray a terrorist bomb-maker. The story incorporates authentic investigation techniques and is driven by strikingly implausible but clever twists & turns.
The real star of the Adrian McKinty offering, however, is the endlessly-fascinating, jaded, "loose-cannon", music-obsessed central detective. The character burns with sardonic wit, is an unapologetic "lone wolf" in this episode (ignoring the team-player elements of Police work), and is comfortable threatening witnesses and buying confiscated drugs stolen by dirty colleagues. The protagonist despises crime and is dedicated and intuitive, but he's hardly ethically-minded - he's become a very intriguing character since Book One of this Irish Mystery-Thriller series.

Blackstone Audio Inc. did well to enlist reader Gerard Doyle on this project, too - but he again comes across as somewhat disinterested. Don't get me wrong.. Doyle is still far above-average (delivering spot-on diction, cadence, and voice-acting.. plus a clear Irish reading brogue), but reads with a bit of a monotone and a curious lack of emotiveness.

Altogether, I rate 'In The Morning I'll Be Gone' a respectable 7.5 stars out of 10. I am grateful to Audible for offering this recording as a 'Plus' selection - I wouldn't have tried it otherwise - and it was easily good enough to prompt me to download further options in the series.

[Note: this entry has considerable "standalone merit" (you don't need to read any of the other 'Sean Duffy' books to enjoy this episode).. and it served well as my introduction to the series]

Enjoyable Mystery

Great story and pacing and performance. My only criticism is he is terrible at writing female characters. There aren’t many so it’s not too bad.

Very good

Great narration to a great story. It may be fiction but it is still a riveting novel about Ireland and their long war! Being Irish, I greatly appreciated the novel and certainly laughed at points. Think you may have to be Irish to understand (lol).

Excellent all around!

Always enjoy Duffy’s courage and “intellectual presence”! McKinty dramatizes the struggles of a Catholic Irish Peeler to his avid readers.

Great crime story, emotional pacing, and audible presentation!

This is much more than a detective story. Here you have a beautifully written novel featuring complex, fascinating characters. The Troubles in 1980 Northern Ireland are central and the setting is a crucial element with a noir vibe. The strong plot is riveting with enough tension to keep you riveted. Adrian McKinty's passion for music and literature are key to his flawed hero.

Kudos to the narrator who did a fabulous job of bringing the story to life.

This was my first introduction to the author, but having started with Book 3 did not dilute my enjoyment. I will definitely be getting all the earlier and later audiobooks.

Outstanding Novel Wonderfully Narrated
