The Final Game

De: Caimh McDonnell

Narrado por: Morgan C Jones

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

OK

The character of Phil Nellis was annoying. I would say most characters except Jimmy were a bit annoying. The story was OK but didn't really grab my attention or make me laugh like the Stranger Times.

Bust out laughs, and a beautiful payoff 

I thought the story took a little bit to find extraction, but once they did, it took off like a getaway car. I don’t often get out loud laughs from “humorous” books, but this one delivered several by way of great dialogue, ridiculous turns and big surprises. This easily has one of the most satisfying endings I’ve listened to in a long time. Beautifully performed by the reader. I really suggest you give this one a shot. 

Fun story

Good mystery. Lighthearted. Perfect performance as usual. Nice to have a stand alone story that fits in well with the Dublin trilogy

A fun book!

An enjoyable book but an author who always delivers. There is life after Bunny and it is a lot of fun. I love every one of these characters and look forward to more.

Keeps getting better and better!

I didn’t think the books could get any better but this is such a great story again filled with terrific characters and laugh out loud hilarious.
The narrator is absolutely one of the absolute best!

Crazy Fun

Love this continuation of Paul and Bridget’s story. It’s wildly unbelievable and has many many story threads but a re-listen helped me get through a truly miserable flu.

Most of the voices are spot-on but a couple bit characters are truly irritating, hence the 4-star rating
Love love love the voice of Jimmie, though

Very fun!

What a fun listen! Lots of whacky people and crazy situations. It was just what I needed! I love these books!!!
