Publisher's Summary
Belfast, 1985. Amid the Troubles, Detective Sean Duffy, a Catholic cop in the Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary, struggles with burnout as he investigates a brutal double murder and suicide. Did Michael Kelly really shoot his parents at point-blank range and then jump off a nearby cliff? A suicide note points to this conclusion, but Duffy suspects even more sinister circumstances. He soon discovers that Kelly was present at a decadent Oxford party where a cabinet minister's daughter died of a heroin overdose, which may or may not have something to do with Kelly's subsequent death.
New evidence leads elsewhere: gun runners, arms dealers, the British government, and a rogue American agent with a fake identity. Duffy thinks he's getting somewhere when agents from MI5 show up at his doorstep and try to recruit him, thus taking him off the investigation.
Duffy is in it up to his neck, doggedly pursuing a case that may finally prove to be his undoing.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

What the critics say
- Shortlisted for the 2016 Audie Award (Best Mystery) and the 2016 Edgar Award (Best Pbk Original)
"When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty forged the path the rest of us follow. The Sean Duffy series is the culmination of a career spent examining our darkest moments, and McKinty is the only crime writer who can do justice to our singular history." (Stuart Neville, author of The Final Silence)
"Series fans will appreciate the further insight into the fallout from tragic cases, department politics, and war. As usual, there's plenty of entertaining territorial battling between the dizzying array of law-enforcement agencies acting in Belfast, and Duffy's investigative skills seem somehow sharpened by his lost hope." (Booklist)
"Gerard Doyle gives a stunning narration of the fourth installment of McKinty's Detective Sean Duffy series.... From the subtle changes in dialect to McKinty's distinct writing cadence and dark humor, Doyle hones in on the details that make this procedural a joy to listen to." (AudioFile)

Creditable Irish Mystery-Thriller
The plot in this Adrian McKinty offering isn't particularly captivating: involving an apparent murder/suicide and the cover-up of the death of a cabinet minister's daughter. It eventually evolves into an international scheme (involving the White House & 10 Downing Street) to provide stolen missile technology to pariah nations like Iran & South Africa (it's a bit of an overreach for a Belfast Detective-Inspector to tackle.. but McKinty does a "fair" job making it plausible).
Regardless, the fascinating evolution of the 'Sean Duffy' character is the star of the show, anyway: embittered, burning out, sleeping around, drinking heavily, ingesting narcotics & snorting cocaine. He seriously considers quitting to take a job with MI-5. The writing is pretty average, but I quite enjoyed the characterization.
Unfortunately, the presentation lets the story down somewhat. Gerard Doyle's narration is undeniably professional (exhibiting spot-on diction, a comfortable timbre/cadence with a great natural Irish brogue, and commendable voice-acting), but his complete lack of emotiveness when reading harrowing action scenes and delivering pathos-heavy dialogue is baffling. This is a distinctly "average" performance.
When all is considered, 'Gun Street Girl' merits a pedestrian 5.5/10-stars. If you can get it as an included 'Plus' option, it's a decent distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons.. but should they ask for a Credit, better options beckon.
