Summary

It started with the judge. He was about to sentence five of Cork's most notorious criminals. But his body has just turned up, beaten and broken, on an isolated road in his burned-out car. Now four members of a rival gang have been shot, and in retaliation three civilians have been blown up. To Katie's horror, Cork is becoming a gang battleground like Dublin. Can Katie save the city? Can she save herself?

So glad it’s over!

I only stuck with this because of the original and final narrators but I have to stop doing this as it’s such a waste of credits! Throughout Katie was irritating, self centred, toyed with people’s emotions whilst keeping them on a string. She, as a successful woman naturally was sexually attractive to both men and woman, was beautiful with large heavy breasts! Obviously, only a woman like that could be successful! And the corruption which largely goes unpunished was farcical, the police must love books like this. There was far too much gratuitous sex. And the author has a strange way of removing characters they no longer want from the narrative, a method which continues throughout. I also can’t tell you if one single case was actually closed! So, my old refrain, do not keep listening just because you’ve started!!! But that’s all on me, I bought them, I listened

I don't know why I stick with it..

This series has over the last few books become so fantastically gory, so short on empathetic characters that it's lost all of the early appeal. That Cork is such a monumental hot bed of the most brutal and numerous crimes; that a well respected senior detective can go from hero to zero in two days: that in those two days, the first of which was burying her partner, she suffers brutally and violently and then heads out for dinner with a dashing new token. it's just ludicrous. Reliant on stereotypical gangsters, only made different by extreme violence against women provided for in full detail. A series stretched thin, and this was, I hope, the last drop of blood.

as ever thee best narrator by far

as ever Aoife McMahon is amazingly brining Katie to life through her Irish ellaquence. I have to admit I'm sorely sad that I've now read all 11 books and not a new one to move onto. I pray there is another in the saga.

I have to admit the soft porn is a little annoying as ever but it's an easy slip to next chapter type of affair. .

I won't give anything away as any good book is explored by the reader not the reviews. one's own opinion cannot and should not be used to judge each one's own preference. I absolutely love these books and yes I'm a huge Graham Masterson fan. so slightly biased to be fair..... read on McDuff, read on. you won't be disappointed.

Oh no.

I have read all the previous books, i still really enjoy the narrative but oh no, the accents were very poor, I thought most of the Irish characters sounded Welsh.....nothing wrong in that except the book is set in Ireland . Bought the book so i could enjoy and read it properly.

Katie Macquire

I really loved this book I am only sorry this is the last Katie Macquire book I have read them all and enjoyed every one although some are more violent then others. I hope he writes another one well worth reading them all.

Good

I’ve listened to all the Katie books and whilst I like the detective I find her personal life both irritating and unbelievably over sexed! In the first few books she was a hard working detective married and then widowed and was very appealing. Now she’s like a sexed crazed detective that jumps into bed with practically every man she meets! She doesn’t even seem to care for the men she supposedly loves before jumping on the next man! It’s a shame because her character doesn’t need her to behave this way! She would be so much more appealing if she had some morals and stuck to doing her job as she did in the first books. Please let’s get back to the detective!

I've read the series of Kate Maguire and this was the least enjoyable. i like that there is two cases usually going on, however don't like that Kate is over sexualised in every book

Another Brilliant Audiobook From Graham Masterton

Once again Graham has delivered a brilliant audiobook. It has all you’d expect. A great plot, great characters and a fair amount of blood and gore.

The narration by Aoife McMahon was superb. She once again brought the characters to life.

It seems such a shame that this book is listed as the final book in the Katie Maguire series. Or, will it be?

Great story

I love this series. Great writing but what makes this a great listen is Aiofe McMahon’s great narration. It’s unbelievable how she portrays all those voices. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.
