About this listen
This book is a standalone prequel to The Dublin Trilogy.
For Detective Bunny McGarry, life is complicated, and it is about to get more so.
It’s 1999 and his hard won reputation amongst Dublin’s criminal fraternity, for being a massive pain in the backside, is unfortunately shared by his bosses. His partner has a career-threatening gambling problem and, oh yeah, Bunny's finally been given a crack at the big time. He’s set the task of bringing down the most skilled and ruthless armed robbery gang in Irish history. So the last thing he needs in his life is yet another complication.
Her name is Simone. She is smart, funny, talented and, well, complicated. When her shocking past turns up to threaten her and Bunny’s chance at a future, things get very complicated indeed. If the choice is upholding the law or protecting those he loves, which way will the big fella turn?
Angels in the Moonlight is part of Caimh McDonnell’s critically acclaimed Dublin Trilogy series, which melds fast-paced action with a distinctly Irish acerbic wit, and it is complicated.
Angels in the Moonlight was selected as a book of the month in the Rick O'Shea bookclub, Ireland's largest bookclub.
Praise for Angels in the Moonlight
“Quite possibly the best book I’ve read this year. The writing is tremendous; Caimh McDonnell has a gift for storytelling and leads his readers on a merry journey through his books, regaling them with humour and wit.” (The Quiet Knitter)
“Angels in the Moonlight is bloody brilliant. McDonnell doesn’t put a foot wrong. Perfection on a page!” (Bloomin’ Brilliant Books)
“This Dublin-based police procedural has an intriguing, multi-pronged plot that flows smoothly without getting bogged down by details. Mystery fans will enjoy the roller-coaster ride. The prose is clean, sharp, and lively. This mystery, deftly seasoned with humor and Irish slang, is memorable and powerful. The characters are compelling and well-developed. From protagonist Detective Bunny McGarry and his fellow coppers to peripheral characters like the streetwise nuns, this book is full of memorable characters.” (The Booklife Prize from Publisher’s Weekly)

Addicted to this series !
I’ve been listening to this series in a very capricious order (The Quiet Man was what got me hooked) but they are so well-written that you never feel like you are missing something. I also really appreciate the narrator’s efforts of voices and regional accents for the various characters. Cannot wait to start the next one!

Great backstory for my new favourite anti-hero
I really enjoy the writing style of Caimh McDonnell. This story gives background on Bunny McGarry as “He's not a bad man. He's worse than that. He's a good man who'll do bad things for why he thinks is right”.

It must be the Irish in me.
I'm not one to enjoy a tear jerker but this is a story that resonats with me and at the end made me weep.
Normally that happens because the dog died and I will never EVER forgive the author for going for an easy emotional hit. NEVER
You will probably not believe this but this is a world I once inhabited, complete with larger than life Bunnies , wannabe Robin Hoods and real doomed love stories.
It's not somewhere you would choose to live but having been there and survived... God I miss it!
Thank you Caimh.

I gave up
Over two hours of listening and I was still struggling to understand the strong accents. Also waiting for an interesting story line to develop, which it didn't in that time. Too many other great books out there to bother with this one.
