À propos de cet audio
Edgar Award winner, Best Paperback Original, 2017.
Rain Dogs, a stunning installment in the Sean Duffy thriller series, following the Edgar Award-nominated Gun Street Girl, is "another standout in a superior series" (Booklist).
It's just the same things over and again for Sean Duffy: riot duty, heartbreak, cases he can solve but never get to court. But what detective gets two locked-room mysteries in one career?
When journalist Lily Bigelow is found dead in the courtyard of Carrickfergus castle, it looks like a suicide. Yet there are a few things that bother Duffy just enough to keep the case file open, which is how he finds out that Bigelow was working on a devastating investigation of corruption and abuse at the highest levels of power in the UK and beyond. And so Duffy has two impossible problems on his desk: Who killed Lily Bigelow? And what were they trying to hide?

laugh out loud dialogue and inner thoughts, endearing Sean, lyrical prose, and tightly plotted storyline perfection. Right onto the next in the series now because I can’t let it go!

Unfortunately, this episode in the series isn't particularly captivating. The victims & perpetrators are uninteresting, the crimes are fairly ho-hum, and the tension is forced. McKinty mailed it in somewhat on this one.
On the positive side: this recording represents the best reading performance that I have encountered from Gerard Doyle. His enjoyable natural Irish brogue is paired with a pitch-perfect understanding of McKinty's intended sardonic tone.. as well as unimpeachable voice-acting this time. Doyle's problems with dramatic expression better match the text in this offering, too (the story doesn't strain Doyle by calling overly much for emotiveness).
Altogether, 'Rain Dogs' rates 6 stars out of 10. If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection - or are entranced with the 'Sean Duffy' character - it's worth your time. If Audible asks for a Credit, however, you would do better spending it on another option.
