Although the assaults seem arbitrary, they're connected. First, an elderly priest is nearly beaten to death and then a special-needs boy is viciously attacked. In Headstone, a violent group has taken to the streets of Galway, Ireland, and started dispensing punishment to random citizens. Headstone, the most recent entry into the Jack Taylor series, brings us Bruen, not surprisingly, in fine form.
However, regardless of opinions, the fact remains: if you've read him once, you don't have to look at the name on the cover of a book to know you're reading Bruen. You might think his award-winning prose is the best of any Irish crime writer ever or consider his minimalist approach a simple gimmick. Allow me to get something off my chest right off the bat: no one writes like Ken Bruen.
