Purgatory by Ken Bruen
Purgatory is Ken Bruen’s 10th Jack
Taylor novel, and I am a great fan of his writing and this main character. I’ve read
them all. As usual, Taylor operates out of Galway, Ireland, and it becomes his
task to solve a serial murderer’s killing spree. However, as much as plot, Bruen's books are about life. Bruen’s descriptions of the town and
culture are priceless. As well as any author that I’ve read, Bruen captures the
struggle with addiction as Taylor wrestles with those demons. Bruen’s writing
style is unique in terms of his sentence and paragraph structure, as well as
where he locates words on the page for emphasis. Bruen provides an experience
that engages the reader in ways that most authors cannot. This one gets my
highest recommendation.
