" Well written but very violent. Michael Forsythe is coerced into infiltrating an IRA cell in Boston that seems to have a bunch of misfits and rejects as members. Listened to the audio version which was narrated by Gerard Doyle who was excellent. "

" The second book in the Dead Trilogy sees Michael Forsythe faced with a tough decision; join a terror cell or return to the infamous Mexican prison that almost took his life. After having enjoyed 5 years peace thanks to Witness Protection, Forsythe is ready to enter a world of violence, torture, and terror plots. In 'The Dead Yard' we gain more of an appreciation of the complex character that is Michael Forsythe and an insight into the world of IRA terror plots and MI6. The torture scenes, while not overtly graphic did enough to make me squirm and flinch with each piece of freshly cut flesh. I was captivated from start to finish and particularly liked how McKinty added subtle linkages to the first book while maintaining a fully functional stand-alone. 4 stars. "

" A book I picked up casually when I was looking for novels w/ the IRA. A fantastic bloody violent ride w/ an offshoot of the IRA in America that won't stop their plotting even when there is a peace treaty in the offering and the bad-a** man forced into stopping them. "

" I enjoyed this crime fiction - easy, quick to read. Not as good as No.1 in the trilogy but I am still prepared to read the third and last in the series. I like Adrian's writing style, lots of references that (for me) are unexpected by a crime writer. "

" The sequel to "Dead I May Well Be" is the continuing adventures (if you call mayhem adventure) of Michael Forsythe, now in witness protection and pressed into service by the FBI to inflitrate an Irish terrorist group. He's the baddest guy you'll ever admire! "

" Holy crap. It was a brutalizing experience simply reading this damn thing. Yoww! I do not deny McKinty's power, but what is the goal here!? Now, I have to finish the trilogy off, but I'm damn afraid of what comes next. "

" Not many writers can hold my attention with blood and guts, guns & sex, but mix in a bit of "Goodfellas", star-crossed lovers , and spy games worthy of John le Carre and this speeding train of a novel can't be put down. Oh yeah, add in a homicidal maniac, kidnapping, and torture. Yummy. "

" Book # 2 in the trilogy. This was pretty darn good. Dark and violent in parts. I was a bit confused at the (overly) quick and deep relationship between Kit and Michael, but it worked itself out pretty fast at the end. Looking forward to book 3. "

" Even better than the first novel in the trilogy. Michael Forsythe is older and wiser. His big mouth gets him into trouble yet again, and he's got to find a way out. Gerard Doyle's narration is again pitch perfect. "

" SPOILER - Same as the first one (Dead I well may be), but it dragged in the middle and the main character got a bit too sappy over this one girl and he ended up shooting her anyway. The reason I added this spoiler is because I doubt anybody I know would read this book anyway.
