The Final Game

By: Caimh McDonnell

Narrated by: 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!!!!

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.

Loved being back with the MCM gang

I went stateside to follow bunny over there for a while, but so glad I came back to MCM. Over the top, laugh out loud funny and brilliantly read again by the best narrator on audible! Perfect escapism (it is helpful to have read / listened to the dublin trilogy for some of the back story, even though this book can stand on its own as well). Can’t wait for the next Bunny installment to be published!
