Irish crime writing at its best, John Connolly's "BREAKING FREE ONCE WAS LUCKY. THIS TIME,THERE MAY BE NO ESCAPE..." is a thrilling and suspenseful tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
Leo Kennedy was always meant to enter the family business, where deals are made in dark corners and crossing the wrong people can get you killed. But, years ago, he surprised everyone by leaving it all behind and choosing a life on the straight and narrow - at a heavy cost. Now, he's back in Dublin to receive a mysterious inheritance, and trying to ignore the increasingly loud hum of gang violence in the city.
Meanwhile, as tensions escalate between Leo's toxic family and rival gang, the Wards, trafficked sisters Yulia and Celestine are desperately trying to free themselves from Duchy Ward's violent clutches. Leo immerses himself in plans to open a restaurant and turn his life around once more, failing to notice the signs that his return is all part of a trap set by his father to bring him back into the fold. And this time, there may be no escape...
Gripping from the start, this novel is a testament to John Connolly's talent as a crime writer. From one of Ireland's most compelling crime writers, Brian McGilloway, comes an utterly gripping, gritty, and addictive page-turner that I couldn't put down. Louise Phillips also praised the book, calling it "an utterly gripping, gritty, addictive page-turner."
Connolly's characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is intricate and well-paced. The setting of Dublin is vividly portrayed, and the reader feels like they are right there with the characters, experiencing the fear and tension of the story.
"BREAKING FREE ONCE WAS LUCKY. THIS TIME,THERE MAY BE NO ESCAPE..." is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and anyone who enjoys a good thriller. With its compelling characters, intricate plot, and vivid setting, this novel is sure to keep you entertained until the very last page.
