Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly Reviews

Adrian McKinty right now: pace, engaging central character, sense of place and period, tight plotting -- Ian Rankin
Another cracker in this superior series -- Ian Rankin
A cracker * Val McDermid *
An unforgettable title ... it perfectly sums up the paranoid atmosphere at Carrickfergus CID in the late 1980s. McKinty moves seamlessly between action and reflection, and his sardonic tone is a delight. * Sunday Times *
Crime is the subject, but Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly will prove one of the best novels of any kind this year. * The Australian *
The sixth in McKinty's increasingly impressive Duffy series ... most enjoyable ... a first-person tail of cheerfully grim fatalism and Prod-Taig banter, chock-a-block with cultural references. -- Declan Burke * Irish Times *
Praise for the Sean Duffy series: McKinty has all the virtues: smart dialogue, sharp plotting, sense of place, well-rounded characters and a nice line in what might be called cynical lyricism ... Gateway McKinty: you won't stop here * Irish Times *
The tension between McKinty's love of tight, formal puzzles and loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a joy * Guardian *
A new Sean Duffy novel is always one of the highlights of a crime reader's year * Sydney Morning Herald *
A treat and an education -- Val McDermid
One of the great crime series ... Brilliant * Sun *
A classic plot with modern twists * Sunday Times *
Adrian McKinty is one of the great storytellers writing crime fiction today. -- Don Winslow
When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty forged the path the rest of us follow. -- Stuart Neville
