About this ebook
This book suggests crime fiction is now the most relevant and valid form of writing which can deal with modern Ireland in terms of the post-'Troubles' landscape and post-Celtic Tiger economic boom. The book takes a chapter by chapter approach with each chapter and author discussing a different facet of Irish crime writing for example, Declan Hughes discusses the influence of American culture on Irish crime writing and Tana French reflects on crime fiction and the post-Celtic Tiger Irish identity. This publication is aimed at both the academic and general reader.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mostly non-fiction with many authors weighing in on how Irish crime fiction was born, evolved & influenced in a series of essays. Tucked in are 3 or 4 short stories that I really enjoyed.
