Galway Confidential: A Jack Taylor Mystery
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
In this new installment of Ken Bruen's beloved Jack Taylor series, the whiskey-swigging Irish detective investigates a series of violent attacks on the local convent's nuns. Jack Taylor wakes up from a coma to discover that much of the world has changed since he last walked the streets of Galway. The pandemic had hit while he was under, devastating the lives of many in his beloved city and beyond. Now, as Jack tries to recover from the attack that put him in the hospital and absorb the incredible changes in the world around him, a woman approaches him with a distressing case: two local nuns have been bludgeoned by a mysterious man wielding a hammer, and more are sure to follow. As the police fail to act while the violence against the Sisters escalates, Jack seems like their only hope. Initially wary of becoming involved in the investigation, Jack finds he cannot stay away from the mystery surrounding these vicious attacks. He also cannot shake a feeling of darkness that has haunted him since he awoke from his coma-a darkness that is far too close for comfort. Luckily an old friend is there to help see him through and there is always Jack's dark wit and a drink to help shore up his mood.

January 29, 2024
At the start of the satisfyingly complex 17th entry in Bruen’s Jack Taylor series, the Irish PI has just awakened from a two-year coma caused by the climactic assault in Galway Epiphany. As Jack tries to adjust to the impact Covid-19 has had on daily life in Galway while he was comatose, two major cases are thrust into his lap. First, he’s asked to find the perpetrator behind a series of savage physical attacks on two local nuns. Then a man living on the streets asks Jack to stop two young thugs who have been setting fire to homeless people at night. Though he’s initially hesitant to take on the jobs, the sheer viciousness of the acts pricks at Jack’s conscience, and he agrees. His investigations are soon hampered by the intrusion of a ruthless vigilante group and a self-appointed friend who runs a local crime podcast and claims to have saved Jack’s life on the night of his assault. All the usual elements of a Jack Taylor novel—terse prose, muscular action, and plenty of Jameson—are on offer in spades, and though the conclusion is less bone-crunching than usual, it tees up the next entry nicely. This will more than satisfy series fans. Agent: Lukas Ortiz, Philip G. Spitzer Literary.
