Publisher's summary

Dorothy Graham is dead, which is inconvenient, not least for her. Luckily, she has planned for this eventuality. Now, if any of the truly dreadful people she is related to want to get their hands on her money, they’re going to have to do so via a fiendish difficult and frankly bizarre competition of Dorothy’s devising. After all, just because you’re dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a last laugh at the expense of people who made your life miserable.

Paul Mulchrone, to his unending credit, is neither related to Dorothy or happy that she is dead; What he is however is a contestant in this competition whether he likes it or not, which he definitely doesn’t. He and his off-again on-again girlfriend, the formidable Brigit, are supposed to be running MCM Investigations, a detective agency. Instead, they have to go into battle against Dorothy’s bloodsucking relatives. As if that wasn’t enough, they get hired by the aforementioned dead woman to find out who killed her.

DI Jimmy Stewart is enjoying his retirement - in the sense that he definitely isn’t. He is bored out of his mind. When the offer comes to get back into the crime solving business, it is too good to turn down. But when he finds himself teamed up with the nephew of a man he threw in prison, and a flatulent dog, he starts to think that taking up lawn bowls wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.

The Final Game is a stand-alone crime novel perfect for listeners new to Caimh McDonnell’s blackly comic take on his hometown, as featured in the international best-selling Dublin Trilogy books. His previous works have been optioned for TV and nominated for awards, which they somehow keep managing not to win.

Hilarious, best of the investigation series.

I caught myself laughing in out loud in the grocery store while listening to this book. It's a book I always listen to when life gets me down.

My favorite!!

I adore this book…I have read all of Caimh’s novels and short stories and, while I have thoroughly enjoyed them all, this is my favorite. In part, because it is the funniest; I literally laughed out loud at numerous points. It is also heartwarming and engaging. I’ve listened to this at least three times since it was released and enjoyed every one. Give it a go!

Great funny romp

More adventures from some of my favorite Irish people. I find myself smiling as I listen and root of Paul and Bridget and of course Phil.
Keep them coming!!!!

Fun and likable, but not stranger times.

The only other works by this author, I have listen to you is the stranger times series. Which absolutely delights me. The narrator for that is out of this world, and to be fair, he is a rare talent. I recommend this book, but it did not tickle me in the way that stranger times series did.

Hilarious, so fun to listen to!

I laughed out loud many times! I loved the story and the narration was spot on and added to the story. I highly recommend this story to be listen to!

Fun Book!

The funniest book of the entire series! The game announcers have hilarious quips! Story is fast paced. Very entertaining to listen to.

Even without Bunny, the Bunnyverse is Alive.

Laugh out loud situational comedy which still manages to touch on darker aspects of life.

Laugh out loud funny with a warm heart

I have more than 500 audiobooks in my collection and there are not many that have me guffawing away as I do housework. This one does. It is the literary equivalent of slapstick but with no meanness of spirit. Loved the sly parody of “self-styled social media influencers!” Who on earth would ever be influenced in any by those people, other than to do the opposite of what they do? But I digress. This is a hilarious book well worth your time.

This may be my favorite of all!

Loved this book. No Bunny required. Great set of characters & excellent storyline. Hope to see more books with this set

Too many laughs to count...

I totally enjoyed this book and was laughing most of the time. Dorothy was very wise with a personality to match...
