Críticas
"Leo Woods is a memorable character ... A sympathetically flawed rogue ... Woods is elevated above the run-of-the- mill police detective by O’Sullivan’s sublime prose, which flashes with shards of poetry when least expected. Studded with dark humour, elegant in style and clever in its execution, Crocodile Tears is a remarkably assured first outing." (Declan Burke The Irish Times)
"Well written, gritty, with dark humour and some striking metaphors... a good addition to the Irish crime-fiction corpus. It reminded me of Mankel's Wallander. A satisfying read." (Irish Independent)
"This absorbing, dense crime novel ... reveals a new and interesting talent. ... Splendidly idiosyncratic and with a leading man who makes Inspector Morse look positively cheerful, this is fine crime writing." (Daily Mail)
"Well written and filled with pathos, dark humour and lyrical description. An absorbing plot and an exceptional lead character combine to make Crocodile Tears a worthwhile summer read." (Katie Binns Sunday Times)
"If there’s a better Irish crime fiction debut published this year, I’ll be very pleasantly surprised." (Declan Burke Crime Always Pays blog)
Reseña del editor
In the freezing winter of 2010, with the Irish recession in full flow, property tycoon Dermot Brennan is found dead at his Dublin home. Leading the murder investigation is fifty-six-year-old Detective Inspector Leo Woods, an embittered former UN peacekeeper with a drug habit, a penchant for collecting masks and a face disfigured by Bell’s Palsy. DI Woods meets his match in Detective Sergeant Helen Troy, a bright and ambitious but impetuous young policewoman with a troubled family.
A host of suspects quickly emerge – Brennan’s estranged son; two of the dead man’s former business associates with grudges against him; a young man whose life was ruined after his house, built by Brennan, was flooded; an arrogant sculptor who may or may not have been having an affair with Anna Brennan (and with their neighbour); and an ex-pat American gardener. Together, Woods and Troy weave their way through this tangled web to get to the shocking truth.
Mark O’Sullivan is an exciting new voice in literary crime fiction. Already an acclaimed children’s fiction writer, he has produced in Crocodile Tears an excellent murder mystery, which has the depth of character of Kate Atkinson combined with the plotting and ambiguous moral codes of Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse.
