The fourth in the Detective Sean Duffy series; these audiobooks, wonderfully read by Gerard Doyle, have been my car companions for months now.
In this title:
An affluent middle-aged couple is found shot to death; the adult son turns up shortly afterward, an apparent suicide. Simple enough, but to Duffy's experienced eye, the dead parents' crime scene looks too professional. Something just doesn't add up, and Duffy is determined to get to the bottom of it. He's a little busy, though, what with MI5 pressuring him to leave the police force behind for good...
In all Detective Sean Duffy novels:
checking under the BMW for mercury tilt bombs
a fabulous supporting cast, including Sergeant Crabben (Crabby), Duffy's dour Presbyterian sidekick, and attractive neighbor Mrs.Campbell, perpetually horny because her husband is either away or depressed
an encyclopedic display of musical knowledge
a shocking amount of alcohol consumption, even for Ireland
hilarious dialogue
a terrific sense of place
