I bought this on the day it came out and am now on my second read-through, savouring all the bits I raced through first time as I was desperate to find out what happens to Phil and Paulie. Absolutely love the MCM Investigations series - so much fun, but plenty of heart too ā„ļø

REVIEW: The Big Steal - Caimh McDonnell @caimhmc.bsky.social Pauly, Brigit and the crew are back and find themselves in deep trouble as an old debt needs to be repaid, leaving them with 52 hours to plan and stage an audacious heist, in the chaotic way only they know how... ššā”ļø

REVIEW: The Big Steal ā CaimhĀ McDonnell
Pauly and Brigit are back in the third adventure for MCM Investigations, a spin off series from Caimh McDonnellās Dublin Trilogy - and probably my favourite of all the series (although thatās like picking a favourite child). Following on from the events in Meanwhile in Dublin, the legend that is Phil Nellis is isolated from his group of friends, and is reported missing.

Just finished The Final Game by Caimh McDonnell and really enjoyed it! In a nutshell - a rich widow who may or may not be murdered and sets up The Money Games to get her awful family to win their inheritance. Plus thereās the no small matter of her possible murderā¦

MCM investigations are back! Or at least Brigit, Paul and Jimmy are - Phil has mysteriously disappeared. The bonds of friendship are tested like never before when the team are left with no choice but to steal Irelandās greatest treasure to literally save their own necks. Strap in for a wild ride.

Book 1 - Ring the Bells by
@caimhmc.bsky.social
Horrible murders at a book club, a demonic book and a megalomaniac Santa Claus? What's not to love? Seriously, this series has some much heart it's really hard not to love them. And in Manchester they feel very believable.

Snoakes's review of Ring the Bells (Stranger Times, #5)
5/5: I love the Stranger Times series, it just gets better and better. And it's really saying something that I bought Ring the Bells especially to read over the Christmas period as I'm not generally ...

Very much looking forward to this one too! For me, Stranger Times has been the best comic SFF series of recent years. Humour, plot, character, a world that builds throughout the series.
