Why read it?

1 author picked A Man With One of Those Faces as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s funny as hell in an offbeat, original way.

McDonnell is Irish—a well-known comedian—as are his characters, which adds to my enjoyment. The language and attitudes of working-class Dubliners are fascinating. The book is a cross between a thriller and a mystery, with four books in the series.

Once again, I know from experience how hard it is to mix humor and suspense. I think I manage it fairly well, leaning toward the suspense end of things. McDonnell relies heavily on humor—laugh-out-loud humor. I love that.
