The book didn't grab me. So I found the story a bit hard to follow. Was he an ambulance EMT or a killer? I found his actions hard to justify. But the book did have plenty of action which I like. Not a bad book, just not my cup of tea.

A thriller that had a little too much graphic violence for me. The setting and the characters all made the story seem real enough that the violence was a little too much for me. I did finish the book, just had to skip some pages.

The first in a series of five books, Quinlan: Homecoming by Kevin Quilligan is an action-adventure tale. Former Irish Army Ranger Donald Quinlan’s last mission in Afghanistan led to his emigration to Australia, where he is now a Paramedic in Sydney. Having been a champion ex-boxer and Karate black belt gives him unusual skills on the streets when attending to patient emergencies. Don gets caught up in a police drug investigation and then becomes a person of interest to the Australian Federal Police as well. A neurodivergent hero, who uses his skill set to escape dangerous situations, whilst attending ambulance callouts. An unusual setting for this action-man tale, yet it’s a romp of a narrative with resplendent action that makes for a four stars rating.
