Critics Review
Tightly structured and compelling … You don’t want to meet Jack Taylor in person, but if you’re a crime fan, you do want to read every book he features in. * Irish Times for PRIEST *
Ken Bruen is finally getting his due. Priest is grimy, brooding, pawkily funny and wholly original. Great. * Observer for PRIEST *
A gripping story of guilt and redemption. * Independent on Sunday for CROSS *
A compelling portrait of a haunted man. * Guardian for CROSS *
Sanctuary…packs a powerful punch. Taylor’s alcoholic self-disgust is utterly convincing, and the supporting low life characters in the story are deftly and vibrantly drawn through pared-to-the-bone prose. Unforgettable. * Irish Independent *
