Remember those people that destroyed the economy and then cruised off on their yachts? Well guess what – someone is killing them.
Dublin is in the middle of a heat wave and tempers are running high. The Celtic Tiger is well and truly dead, activists have taken over the headquarters of a failed bank, the trial of three unscrupulous property developers teeters on the brink of collapse, and in the midst of all this, along comes a mysterious organisation hell-bent on exacting bloody vengeance in the name of the little guy.
Paul Mulchrone doesn’t care about any of this; he has problems of his own. His newly established detective agency is about to be DOA. One of his partners won’t talk to him for very good reasons and the other has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth for no reason at all. Can he hold it together long enough to figure out what Bunny McGarry’s colourful past has to do with his present absence?
When the law and justice no longer mean the same thing, on which side will you stand?
The Day That Never Comes is the second book in Caimh McDonnell’s Dublin Trilogy, which melds fast-paced action with a distinctly Irish acerbic wit.

Caimh McDonnell's 'Dublin Trilogy' has a good many fans. I agree with the ones who advise reading the novels in order. This is a series where the vibrantly drawn characters matter and we do need to get to know them as their relationships unfold. I have read the first two novels: so far, the hapless characters we need to keep an eye on are Paul Mulchrone (well-meaning mensch); Bunny McGarry (Paul's former hurling coach; a more than tough police detective that would make Columbo look like a snappy dresser); Bridget Conroy (nurse with an anger-management problem) and Phil Lewis (Paul's best friend, even more hopeless than Paul.) This story adds Maggie, a police dog who needed rescuing after her period of service ended. Then there is the mysterious blonde with the clingy red dress. The plots expand quickly to include an activist priest, assorted 'bent' real estate developers and planning officials and an army of aggrieved investors in a massively embezzled from housing project. Then the terror begins.For most of the story, Bunny is (where else?) lost, presumably on a monumental binge. Paul and Bridget, now partners in a new private detection agency, are looking for him with notable lack of skill. Plus, due to the 'mother of all misunderstandings' they are not talking to each other. The perpetually penniless Paul needs a car for this investigation and Phil can borrow one. Even with these handicaps they are outperforming the local constabulary, who are hamstrung by ego issues at the top of the hierarchy and by an anti-terrorist squad that needs to find terrorists in order to get a workout. Excitable citizens will do in a pinch. The able police are represented by Detective Constable Wilson, who played a creditable role in the first novel and by newly promoted Detective Superintendent Susan Burns. Just from the lineup of characters, one sees endless possibilities for biting humor and physical comedy.

The Day That Never Comes The Dublin Trilogy Book 2 edition by Caimh McDonnell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Loved it. I read the 1st of the trilogy and couldn't wait until, The Day That Never Comes, well, came. It continues the characters, witty dialogue, and Irish charm of "A Man With One Of Those Faces." I recommend it highly! McDonnell said there would be a 3rd, and I'm awaiting that one now. It's all great craic. Hope that McDonnell let's his fans know when he comes to the US. I'd love to hear his stand up in person!
this guy needs to get writing faster because I cannot wait for his next book! I love the main character, and all the other characters too for that matter. It's so funny yet has this great plot at the heart of it. I really want to go to Ireland just to hear the dialect now.
Another Home Run for Caimh (or whatever the equivalent is in hurling)! I thoroughly enjoyed his first novel and liked this one is even better. The addition of Maggie, the German Shepherd that has a similar personality to Bunny McGarry, has definitely strengthened this crime-fighting team. Looking forward to Book 3 (write faster, you Irish hack)!
I've read A Man With One of Those Faces and I'm already on to Angels In the Moonlight. I enjoy the individual voices of his characters, they evoke a real world feeling. I'd like to know some of his characters. I'm of two minds about his books though. I'd love to see a movie, or better yet a tv series developed with these characters...but I also want to selfishly keep them to myself. I hope you enjoy this book, I did, but don't tell anyone else about them.
Book two of a four part trilogy? Right away this clued me in that the author might be a little bent. The Day That Never Comes continues with the majority of the characters introduced in A Man with One of Those Faces, the lead off to a refreshing series by a gifted recently arrived writer in the field. We have our leads,Bunny-a hard bitten Irish cop with a strong sense of what is right and little compunction on how he achieves it, Paul-socially challenged, intelligent, good hearted and looking for something to wrap his life around and our third lead, Brigit-strong willed, alpha female, brilliant, but doesn't always think things through before acting. The three of them have recently formed a private investigation agency just before Bunny disappeared while Dublin threatens to melt down due to civil unrest. One of the author's strengths is blending serious fiction with humor without turning the whole affair into slapstick. Bad things happen to good people, there is some violence, and the endings aren't necessarily standard happily ever after but the tension along the way is relieved by frequent doses of belly laugh humor that had still had me occasionally smiling and chuckling hours later when doing something else entirely The plot is ordinary, its the characters and their interactions that steal the show. Add in a strong supporting cast of well drawn secondary characters and bad girls/guys and you have a read that sets a high bar for satisfying entertainment. I read a lot of reviews and wade through a lot of sample downloads lookin for good entertainment and when I stumble on the rare jewel like this all the effort is worth it.
NoteOne of those 'well drawn secondary characters', Maggie is newly introduced in this book and turns out to be one of the stars. Maggie is an attack trained dog previously under order of death by the Irish police due to an unfortunate incident involving drugs and impulse control. Details of Maggies' sordid past are available in the book, How To Send A Message, free at the author's website- whitehairedirishman.com -sorry won't let me leave an outside link, you'll actually have to type it in by hand(go ahead, type it in and live like an animal). Most author freebies tend to be early work and I have rarely found them worth the time to read, where How To Send A Message seems to me to be as well written as the rest of McDonnell's Dublin Trilogy entries. The other stories included were more than 'just readable' as well, especially one about a small, select group of Catholic nuns formed to secretly intervene in other counties affairs. Horah!
Wish I were more articulate. But not to worry! Each book in thus series is written by some one who is able to put thoughts into words. And he dies it very well. I live the details about the characters. You don't get bogged down, but rather buoyed up, because it's pretty darn funny. Lots of digressions, but always returns to the task at hand, making the journey all the more interesting. I get caught up in his style as much as the story and the humor. What a great series. Do hope it goes on after the fourth part.
