About this listen
Michael has survived his infiltration of an IRA splinter cell in Boston, and now, his many near fatal wounds healed, he begins his next adventure as manager of hotel security in Lima, Peru. It is there that he is contacted by Bridget, whose fiancé he killed.
Bridget, calling from Dublin, says that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. Michael's choice is to fly to Dublin and help her find the girl, or be executed at the hands of Bridget's goons, who are holding him at gunpoint. He agrees to nothing, but is soon on the way to Dublin, leaving the first two of many dead bodies in his wake.
Don't miss these other noir thrillers in the Michael Forsythe series: Dead I Well May Be (Unabridged) and The Dead Yard (Unabridged).©2007 Adrian McKinty (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.Critic Reviews
"[H]is most visceral, satisfying effort yet....McKinty writes masterful action scenes, and he whips up a frenzy as the bullets begin to fly." (Publishers Weekly)
"[O]utpaces its immediate predecessor, The Dead Yard...with [McKinty's] trademark dark lyricism, one great red herring, and a masterful plot twist that brings Forsythe's character full circle in a lightning flash." (Booklist)

Bruce!
I was entertained throughout the series and my rating is a review of it entirety, not of Bloomsday alone.

classic action thriller
Entertaining, lively action thriller centred around Irish recent battlegrounds with strong sense of place (and humour)

In Which Everyone is Trying to Kill Michael
A day with Leopold Bloom this is not. How many people can Michael Forsyth kill in one day? An awful lot as it turns out. And the eternal soliloquies! I wanted someone to shoot Michael just to put an end to them. A good story, but needed a hard edit. The narrator, as ever, is a dream to listen to, and kept me going to the blessed end.

Can’t get enough of Michael Forsyth.
Another cracking book in the series. It’s also a guilty pleasure because I guess you shouldn’t like a charming psychopath but there’s something strangely moral and poetic about him as he goes on his rescue journey through Belfast. It also has the perfect narrator who really brings it to life.

Didn't want it to end..
This series would be one of the best stories I've listened to - and really enjoyed the way the three of them came together so well. Wouldn't matter if you hadn't listened to the other two, but so much richer if you do!

Much killing, as per title
Always a good author, plenty of action and descriptions of Ireland, a murder travelogue
In one

Can’t put a step wrong. Great story.
Adrian McKinty can’t put a step wrong. Another great story, beautifully written - better than ‘illustrated’!
