The talents of this author is evident with his writing style, his vivid, clear descriptions and his human characters. I read the books out of order (no harm done), yet I could not put either book down until I finished them and I missed a night's sleep chain reading. This book is full of storylines that twist and turn, tell about Irish life during WWII, and keep the reader immersed until the last page. O'Brien is a wonderful storyteller/writer/author/pick your label. O'Brien to review his books and he shared this fine example of his wonderful talent of storytelling and vivid imagination and descriptions. The pages were thick enough where you didn't see the print on the other side the book is a comfortable size for holding and the serif font was large enough for most people. I was lucky enough to read this story in paperback what a pleasure. Not many Indie books keep me awake nowadays - some even put me to sleep in the middle of the day. I was so involved with this story, I did not pay attention to the time and finished it at 0400 hours. There is also much good and gives a balanced picture of what life was like in that era. I liked many of the characters, but the my favorite is the Guard he takes his job further than required and uncovers secrets and horrors that weave the fabric of this story. The evolving storylines, set during the end of WWII, in Ireland, tell an interesting tale of murder, mystery, heartbreak and horror. O'Brien has yet to disappoint me and he has become one of my favorite authors. Who is he? How did he get hold of Paudy's ring? And on which side of this conundrum are the big city cops really on?Ī Pale Moon Was Rising #2 - Mr. Unfortunately following the provenance of the ring does not solve the mystery of the identity of the dead man. Our victim is wearing a ring, passed down through the Daly family through the ages to Paudy, the eldest son of the notorious Mixer Daly. This is happening in the same time frame as the rumors of the presence of a German submarine seeking repairs near Dingle so there is turmoil all along the western coast of Ireland, neutral in the war but definitely not pro-Axis. He will be involved in the investigation of the death of a young man found on the path to Blennerville, often against orders, occasionally against his own volition. Eamon Foley is an officer in the Tralee Garda Barracks. It does, however, settle into an intense murder mystery in Tralee, Ireland nearing the end of WWII. The opening of this novel nearly put me off - shades of Steven King. He has a large selection of works, most available on Kindle Unlimited, to feed my binge-reading soul. Thank you Netgalley for exposing me to this author. He has a library of work, many settings in Ireland, many timed in WWII. I am happy to recommend this author to friends and family. I have read this novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I received a free electronic copy of this novel on May 26, 2020, from Netgalley, Brendan Gerad O'Brien, and BooksGoSocial.
