A June of Ordinary Murders: A Mystery por Conor Brady
I loved the setting and the author weaves maby threads together seamlessly. But though I wanted to like Swallow, he's too self-serving, too callous for me to enjoy any further books with him in the lead. It's a shame, too, because otherwise this was an excellent piece of historical mystery fiction.
1888 Dublin and D.I. Joe Swallow is tasked with investigating the death of a young female. But this will not be the last attack, is there a connection between them.
There is quite a bit in the book concerning Irish politics at the time, fine if you don't know history from an Irish viewpoint, but not really enough story concerning a mystery, but enjoyable enough with a variety of characters.

This is the third in the Joe Swallow series by Conor Brady. Three girls were accosted, two of them mortally, within two weeks of each other on the street of 1888 Dublin. Joe Swallow was put in charge of the cases. The girls seem to be unrelated, other than age and the brutality of the crome.. They were from different walks of life. There were virtually no clues. As the weeks drag on, no clues comes to light until Swallow's former boss, "Duck" Boyle accidentally overhears something that might be relevant.
Brady describes the conflicts going on in Ireland in the 1880s with farmers being forced off their land and the push towards an independent Ireland angering the home office in England. With th is as a backdrop, Brady sets his mystery.
Those of us who have read the frist two books in the series have come to know Joe Swallow, so this is sort of a homecoming. While the book is good as a standalone, I'd recommend reading the first two books in order to see how Swallow's life has progressed. A good, readable mystery.… (más)
