Yesterday I posted a review of books 3 - 7 in the "Dublin Trilogy" (Adrian McKinty, I'm looking at you...)

Anyway, I listened to these, they were funny, bit on the silly side and really enjoyable.

OK. Love me some Bunny McGarry, but how does that relate to my other love, Adrian McGinty? Other than maybe you are pumping for McGinty to get back to Belfast with more in his series?? Anyway, just wanting to add my praise to yours for both those authors. Two Gems. Thanks.

The reference is really all about Irish authors & their concept of a trilogy :) McKinty's Sean Duffy series was billed as a trilogy, until book 4 came out. Then we didn't know what to call it anymore, and however you look at it, The Dublin Trilogy with 7 books and 2 novellas... it made me laugh a lot :) There is a 7th book in the Duffy series on the way here now - The Detective Up Late (which just to add to the confusion appears to be also known as Cold Water).

@kcfromaustcrime @bookstodon Yeah, Already read Detective Up Late. Must have released earlier here in the states. Damn!

And I'm guessing you've read the Bloomsbury / Dead Trilogy (which did turn out to be 3 books!) :)

@kcfromaustcrime @bookstodon No. on it now. It’s 12:15 here, and I’m still reading, so I’ll check that out. Thanks. I Just finished The Prague Sonata, not anything like our Irish friends, but a good long read on music. I know you have read all the Len Deighton. Sure wish he was still alive. I’m off to check out Bloomsbury. I like your taste. So thanks again. It gets harder and harder to find books I like reading. I have lived too long.

@jancampbellcady @bookstodon lol I hope that's not the case, the living too long bit. I'm surrounded by books hoping to live another 60 years or so (statistically impossible) :)

@kcfromaustcrime @bookstodon thanks for the tip on Dead Trilogy. Never read anything by Barrett, and now, since you mentioned it, I have read 4 of the Eddie series and 2 of the Roger Trilogy. Thanks, and I’ve got 6 more waiting on my Kindle so I am in forensic heaven. Great leads!
