THE DETECTIVE UP LATE Sean Duffy, Book 7

In this final installment of the Sean Duffy series, it’s fitting that a Duffy regular narrates. Gerard Doyle has a fabulous brogue and the ability to deliver a sly joke and dialogue between an Irishman and a Scot with equal facility. The plot, set in Belfast during the Troubles, revolves around a missing girl and the men she seduced. The story also encompasses a Russian double agent and Detective Sergeant Duffy’s retirement from the Royal Ulster Constabulary, as well as his family, his love affair with music and the arts, and his wickedly erudite sense of humor. Listeners who are new to the series will want to start at the beginning; those who know DS Duffy will come to miss him. L.W.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
