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!"
Full of odd characters, brutal crimes of violence and twists that will make you laugh out loud.
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.
