"Jack Taylor has finally escaped his violent life in Galway for a quiet retirement in the country. But on a day trip back into the city to sort out his affairs, Jack is hit by a truck in front of Galway's Famine Memorial, left in a coma but mysteriously without a scratch on him. When he awakens weeks later, he finds Ireland in a frenzy over the so-called "Miracle of Galway." People have become convinced that the two children seen tending to him are saintly, and the site of the accident sacred. The Catholic Church isn't so sure, and Jack is commissioned to help find the children to verify the miracle or expose the stunt. But Jack isn't the only one looking for these children. A fraudulent order of nuns needs them to legitimatize its sanctity and becomes involved with a dangerous arsonist. Soon, the building in which the children are living burns down. Can they escape?"--… (mehr)

Since I was introduced to the Jack Taylor series with The Guards and The Killing of the Tinkers back in 2007, Ken Bruen has became one of those authors for me that I'll drop whatever I'm reading to pick up his latest work.

Like his previous 15 Jack Taylor novels, A Galway Epiphany did not disappoint. Jack Taylor is brought into more of his usual predicaments with complex relationships and even more complex crimes. The noir style is authentic and original, and full of eye-opening anecdotes. The bonus for me is always all the new discoveries of authors, books, songs, etc. that Bruen weaves into his stories through Jack Taylor's tastes for books and music. 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic / Mysterious Press for the ARC. ( )

The last few of these haven't been up to the levels of the earlier books in the series and this one continues that trend so I'm hoping that this sees an end to them now. Though if the author churns out another one then I'll still pick it up though with more hope than expectation of it being back to its best. ( )

Not for me

What can I say? The New York Times reviewer has trouble with Mr. Bruen's prose. This isn't my kind of storytelling nor is Jack Taylor my kind of guy. I didn't finish.

I received a review copy of "A Galway Epiphany" by Ken Bruen from Grove Atlantic through NetGalley.com. ( )

Hey Jack,

I was so happy to read that you were back. Not that were friends or anything, you know that those who befriend hounding last very long. Good to see you were your usual irascible, irreverent, hard drinking self. A miracle huh! Bet you never saw that one coming. As usual I enjoy your bookish quotes, and here your Galway epiphanies. I don't know how violence manages to find you no matter where you are, but it does. Always the good with the bad. Think I'd take up drinking too!

This one though seemed to have too much going on, seemed kind of rushed. Still, you are a nice change of pace, one I always appreciate. Don't know how you manage to survive the things you do, though that may be a moot point.

I sincerely hope I see you again and in better conditions.

Till next time. Fingers crossed.

ARC from Edelweiss ( )
