Someone is scraping the scum off the streets of Galway, and they want Jack Taylor to get involved. A drug pusher, a rapist, a loan shark, all targeted in what look like vigilante attacks. And the killer is writing to Jack, signing their name: C-33.
Jack has had enough. He doesn’t need the money, and doesn’t want to get involved. But when his friend Stewart gets drawn in, it seems he isn’t been given a choice. In the meantime, Jack is being courted by Reardon, a charismatic billionaire intent on buying up much of Galway, and begins a tentative relationship with Reardon’s PR director, Kelly.
Caught between heaven and hell, there’s only one path for Jack Taylor to take: Purgatory.

And entered quite a different world of reading. Fascinating , but at times, difficult reading. His style, with its interior dialogs with Taylor talking to, reproving, observing and despising himself, took a bit of getting used to, but once I did, I resolved to read every book I could get my hands on.
Jack Taylor has every bad habit there is: smoking, drinking, doping, sneering, apostasy, cynicism and truth. He backslides
and crawls forward. The Purgatory of the title is about modern Ireland, a repository for lost dreams and people with a broken spirit, and, of course, for Jack himself. These are the noir-est of noir novels.
Written in short , punchy sentences, lyricism and insight that I hardly expected in a crime novel, "Purgatory" captivated me. Now, I have to catch up to see what I missed. It did not hurt my enjoyment of the book, but there was a lot of important background to Jack Taylor's life I need to discover.
Warning: lots of micro- aggressions, crude language, some violence. Definitely not not for anyone expecting a tourist Ireland, or a blarney-spouting Irish cop.

with mixed results. He`s on the trail of a serial killer who leaves notes signed "C33". Along the way we meet up with a gay policewoman, a former drug addict turned Zen master, a billionaire trying to buy up the city, and other assorted characters.
Although the premise has been tried numerous times before, and although we pretty well know "whodunnit" before the end, what makes this so good is Bruen`s unique writing style, terse, one word sentences, references to

A quick, yet satisfying read.
The Taylor series is strong stuff: violent and sometimes downright vicious, sparsely written in a voice bordering on poetry, and that's part of the problem with "Purgatory" -- the lyrical prose that is a hallmark of Bruen's remarkable style is muted here, undermined by a patched-together plot by a writer who seems tired of the series and its characters. Perhaps part of the problem is that for much of the book, Taylor is sober, off drugs, and not smoking and not particularly liking how he feels. Regardless, the book feels like the first half of a two-parter aiming to bring the series to a close. If that's right, let's hope the second half finishes stronger.
If you have not read Bruen before, I urge you not to start with "Purgatory," which isn't Bruen or Taylor at their best. That said, even less than top-notch work by Ken Bruen is far better than most.
