THE GHOSTS OF GALWAY Jack Taylor, Book 12

Those who enjoy the lilt of an Irish accent and contemporary Irish prose will enjoy this audiobook. Narrator Gerry O'Brien takes listeners on a wild ride that includes a terrific blend of pop culture, politics, and the search for a mysterious book. After experiencing some issues with a mistaken medical diagnosis, Jack Taylor finds a boring job as a night security guard in Galway. Then he's offered money to find "the book." O'Brien finds a comfortable, gravelly voice for Jack--and for the author's literary and musical recommendations--and delivers unique tones for a sociopath, crooked cops, and various priests. Fast-paced action, cynical commentary on life, dry humor, and O'Brien's skillful narration add up to a terrific listen. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2018]
