Reviews For Murder on the Dodder
Briskly paced...unrelenting action. Bruton writes of Dublin’s landmarks and alleys with transporting affection. Fans will walk away satisfied
Fast-paced, thrilling, and incredibly addictive, this novel was impossible to put down. I loved Keith Bruton's debut, and this follow-up is just as adrenaline-fueled!"
A fast-paced crime novel that is both hilarious & hardboiled, its main character both ruthless and oddly sympathetic.
Sparkling prose, a well-realized setting, and appealing characters make this offbeat crime novel a winner. Bruton is definitely an author to watch.
Keith Bruton's passion for his hometown of Dublin and for crime fiction shines like a beacon in his glorious debut novel. His quiet, domestic set pieces are as rewarding, and as exciting in some ways, as his riveting action scenes.
