Reviews
"Bruen maintains his trademark hip references and highly poetic style, but fans expecting the usual are in for some shock therapy, as he busts out one series-changing surprise after another." -- Publishers Weekly [HC starred review], "Bruen always respects his characters. . . . Noir fans will find exactly what they love here." -- Booklist [HC starred review], "Voiced by the always-impressive Gerard Doyle, Jack's first-person musings are dark and curtly lyrical. With literary quotations prefacing each chapter, and the terse dialogue that typifies Jack's interactions with friends and enemies alike, listeners must follow closely in order not to lose track of the narrative. Thankfully, Doyle's narration makes any other option impossible. His mellifluous brogue conveys subtle humor and imparts a lighter note to Jack's brooding cogitations." -- Booklist, "No matter how black Bruen paints it, there is also an unabashed celebration of life here. To read these books is to fly." -- Mystery Scene, "Bruen's dazzling Irish storytelling voice has its roots in the descriptive wit of Robert Parker and the lowlife dialogue of George V. Higgins. In Purgatory , Ken Bruen brings his A game." -- Shelf Awareness [HC starred review], eoeBruen always respects his characters. . . .
