Summary
The first in an electrifying new British detective series starring PC Donal Lynch.
Meet PC Donal Lynch.
Irish runaway. Insomniac. Functioning alcoholic.
Donal is new to working the beat in London, trying his
best to forget that night. After all, there aren’t many police
officers who can say they have a convicted murderer
for an ex-girlfriend.
So when a woman is murdered on his patch, Donal throws
himself into the case. As the first person on the scene,
Donal can’t forget the horrific sight that faced him – and
he knows this case can’t go unsolved. But how do you
solve a case with no lead suspect and no evidence?
As his past catches up with him, Donal is forced to confront
his demons and the girl he left behind. But what will crack
first, the case or Donal?
Chilling, brutal, addictive – if you like Tim Weaver and James Oswald, you will LOVE James Nally.

Sophisticated and amusing
Set in the early 1990s, the background is familiar enough to be recognizable. Ireland has not yet begun the crazed wealth of the property boom and its young hopefuls are migrating to London and the US in search of prosperity. The real star of this book, though, is the deprecating wit of the protagonist, often centered on the mispronunciation of his given name. An original and promising start with an original slant on the crime novel.

Great Story, great writing! Highly recommend for crime fans.
I was pulled in immediately and couldn't put it down. Hope this proves to be a long series of books. Already downloaded the next one.

I Could Become Part of the Lynch Mob!
While I eagerly await The Gathering Dark from James Oswald this one took my eye because of the similarities of mixing a troubled lead character with hints of the supernatural. It does in fact satisfy in similar ways but takes a very different approach. Donal Lynch gets visited by the recently dead and their interactions are not pleasant. In the blurb the girl that he left behind is mentioned but there is no indication of the rather incredible circumstances surrounding that. Unlike the usual enigmatic past that is gradually pieced together across series like this we quickly get into that past and it is weaved around the current events nicely to form a complete story.
The narration feels very authentic and I enjoyed Aidan Kelly's performance but a great voice actor he is not and his feminine characters sound anything but feminine which might be distracting to some.
I genuinely liked this and will probably follow Donal Lynch's adventures in the future (well the 1990s!). There is some good humour in there too with his christian name seeming to be rather troublesome to his fellow characters being a highlight.

Far Fetched
Disappointing ending. Second sight and hallucinations difficult to swallow. Can’t decide if he actually got the chief of police in a headlock or it was wishful thinking. Again. Don’t think I’ll read the next one to find out

Really enjoyable. Great narrator.
Really enjoyable book in every way. It's so hard to find a writer who knows how to weave plot and sub plots together into an exciting, high-concept story AND to write well. This author has all the skills. This should be made into a TV series. The narrator is excellent too!

Dreary
I tried really hard with this book and managed as far as Chapter 23 but I just got to the point where I didn't care who did all the stabbing and I really couldn't stand the accents of any of the characters who all sounded pretty loveless at best. I couldn't help but think that the main character Donal needed a good shake til his teeth rattled, utterly gormless.
Sorry, not for me!
