Bruen is one of the better writers alive. Filled with quandary, contradictions, dark and light, his characters breathe with tortured gasps and often lurch with drunken steps. "Priest" is one of his best efforts, filled with the raging despair of betrayal and the bitter tang of too-late reparation.

Superior mystery from Bruen
Bruen's latest Jack Taylor mystery is more than just the solving of a priest's murder, it covers the gamut of the sorry state of present day Ireland and the even sorrier state of Jack who is an ex drinker who suffers daily with a life that brings to his eyes the type of matters that make him even more thirsty for a pint and a shot of Jamisons. Issues of the failure of religion come to light also as the pedophilia of the murdered priest comes to light and the coverup by the church in this and other instances shake the belief system of churchgoers. Dark, intense and a fully satisfying ending make this a standout.
