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.

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, 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.

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 series

I loved the stories, the characters and the narrator. The stories are fun and interesting.

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.

Great writing, laugh out loud moments, twisty plot

The main characters are lovable, and the twisty situations they get into kept me smiling and laughing. The writing is top-notch and narration is excellent. Listening to this cheered me up and put me in a good mood.
