I keep worrying that you might abandon Sean. Such a relief that he’s still on the job and that there might be a murder (in the red barn, no less). Thank God. We’re at war and the world is crumbling but at least I can look forward to more Duffy.
God, I would love to get Ger to do that! I know he's recording the new Mick Herron right now but I wonder what he's doing after that? Anyway I have to finish this first!
Thank you for sharing this! Going from A Scandal in Bohemia to the fairies feels like a dialogue with the career of AC Doyle. I like how the folklore is used here as just one item in divergent cultural mix, and your universe now contains multitudes for possible display like the opening titles of The Simpsons.
"But sometimes you had to give the fuckers a sporting chance." But after you stuck the things in your ears (unlike my monaural single earbud) you never unplugged before starting the conversation with Sammy the Communist, listening to Radio Havana. So, how did you hear Sammy? Wait..... Sean can lip-read like we monauralists?
First of all it’s 1992 no ones sticking anything in their ears. Walkman earphones sit on ears. And brother did I really have to spell out that to make a bet in a bookies you have to tell the teller what the bet is and to do that you have to turn your Walkman off? you might want to try an author who spells out every single goddamn thing for you. Sigh….
Sean Duffy is like a drug, just keep needing more and more!!

Okay I’m hooked (again)! Looking forward to the next instalment ☺️
Sleeping dogs never lie; they deny. Resistance was futile. Looking forward to more.
Can we crowd-fund some Gerard Doyle installments?
This is so great thanks Adrian. Feels like an Easter egg hunt for Duffy fans.

Looking forward to the next installment… raising a glass (or two) to Duffy 🥃 🥃
Sean Duffy in house, mucking about. The Gaelic code-switchers are here, people! Let’s eat him alive.

I'm old and deaf in one ear. I forgot about the Walkman earphones—mea culpa.
