I have been reading this city-based crime noir series from my favorite small book publishing company Akashic books. The series varies in quality, but the Dublin Noir was exceptionally good, which is to be expected. I would have given it 5 stars except for a story about a hate crime against a Pakistani man. I don't know why that was included in the book but it's offensive material.
Too complicated
Paint-by-the-numbers "noir" short stories. To disagree with another review on here, I find that "noir" can work quite well in a shorter format. On the other hand, I agree with the reviewer that many of these never quite find their mark due to their short length. Several of the stories were banal meditations on life in and around Dublin, with a "noir" style ending seemingly tacked on at the end, usually in the form of a murder. I will continue to read through this series from Akashic, as it works
