The Guards by Ken Taylor

The Guards by Ken Bruen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first in Ken Bruen's Jack Taylor series. Set in Galway, Ireland, Taylor has been expelled from the Guarda (police) for alcoholism. Between bouts of inebriation, he seeks people (being a private eye is not p.c. in Ireland). The mother of an apparent suicide asks Jack to try to find the killer. Jack's lists and quotes from existential authors lend levity to the story.

Read as an ebook on my new Nook Color Tablet.
