Remember those people that destroyed the economy and then cruised off on their yachts? Well guess what – someone is killing them.

Dublin is in the middle of a heat wave and tempers are running high. The Celtic Tiger is well and truly dead, activists have taken over the headquarters of a failed bank, the trial of three unscrupulous property developers teeters on the brink of collapse, and in the midst of all this, along comes a mysterious organisation hell-bent on exacting bloody vengeance in the name of the little guy.

Paul Mulchrone doesn’t care about any of this; he has problems of his own. His newly established detective agency is about to be DOA. One of his partners won’t talk to him for very good reasons and the other has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth for no reason at all. Can he hold it together long …

Darker Bunny

4 stars

Bunny McGarry is missing, and Birgit is not talking to Paul, which means their brand new detective agency will be done before it starts. While looking for Bunny, Paul takes a case where he has to follow one of three property developers that have embezzled a lot of money.

This book is darker and seems to be grey all the time even though it takes place in the Summer. I feel McDonnell was not in high spirits while writing this, but as the novel progresses and the comic moments start creeping in - mostly by the paw of Maggie - the pace picks up and I read the last 30 chapters in one sitting. I am sure this will not be my favourite book of this series, but it's a good read.
