Inspector Sheehan Mysteries Box Set: Books 1-3
(2024)(A book in the Inspector Sheehan Mysteries series)
An omnibus of novels by Brian O'Hare
Angel of Death. Prominent figures in Belfast are being murdered. The bodies are left naked and posed in grotesquely distorted shapes. No clues are left at the forensically immaculate crime scenes except odd theatrical props and some random numbers and letters concealed at each scene by the killer. How are the victims linked? What is the connection between these killings, the bible, and a famous mediaeval painting of The Last Judgement?
Die This Hour The killer always strikes at 11.05 pm on Tuesday evenings. Inspector Sheehan and his team know that. After two murders, they have also figured out who the next victim is, and have set up protection for him. Yet the killer not only succeeds in murdering the targeted victim, he also kidnaps a member of the Serious Crimes Unit and gets clean away. How can Sheehan hope to catch a killer who is so ruthlessly clever and efficient?
Killer of Souls In the past Chief Inspector Sheehan and his team have dealt successfully with murderers, serial killers, vicious psychopaths, but how will they succeed against a malevolent Satanist who has the support of a determined coven and a very powerful demon? And bizarrely, will Sheehan have time to discover who is murdering members of the coven while trying to rescue a young lady who is targeted by them for human sacrifice on midnight of the sacred feast of Lughnasa
***** Everything is drawn with an acerbic pen - whether it's the city, its institutions, or the gaggle of fascinating characters that populate the novel - all are at once engaging and, at the same time, flawed….but everything is authentic and thoroughly Irish.
***** The end took me completely by surprise. I’m willing to bet there are few out there who will guess this one.
***** The first thing I thought after reading this book is: why isn't Brian O'Hare better known in the crime writing world? This man is extremely talented, and his book a wonderful whodunnit that left me guessing until the end.
Genre: Mystery
