Having loved The Stranger Times so much, I revisited Caimh McDonnell’s Dublin Trilogy with this prequel. It gives you some backstory to Bunny McGarry and I couldn’t help but fall in love with his character – the epitome of gruff heart of gold beat up the bad guys to save the vulnerable type of person, and even though that is kind of a cliché, when it’s done this well you don’t care. The book was funny and heart wrenching and intriguing and I enjoyed it very much.
