About this listen
Dorothy Graham is dead, which is inconvenient, not least for her. Luckily, she has planned for this eventuality. Now, if any of the truly dreadful people she is related to want to get their hands on her money, they’re going to have to do so via a fiendish difficult and frankly bizarre competition of Dorothy’s devising. After all, just because you’re dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a last laugh at the expense of people who made your life miserable.
Paul Mulchrone, to his unending credit, is neither related to Dorothy or happy that she is dead; What he is however is a contestant in this competition whether he likes it or not, which he definitely doesn’t. He and his off-again on-again girlfriend, the formidable Brigit, are supposed to be running MCM Investigations, a detective agency. Instead, they have to go into battle against Dorothy’s bloodsucking relatives. As if that wasn’t enough, they get hired by the aforementioned dead woman to find out who killed her.
DI Jimmy Stewart is enjoying his retirement - in the sense that he definitely isn’t. He is bored out of his mind. When the offer comes to get back into the crime solving business, it is too good to turn down. But when he finds himself teamed up with the nephew of a man he threw in prison, and a flatulent dog, he starts to think that taking up lawn bowls wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
The Final Game is a stand-alone crime novel perfect for listeners new to Caimh McDonnell’s blackly comic take on his hometown, as featured in the international best-selling Dublin Trilogy books. His previous works have been optioned for TV and nominated for awards, which they somehow keep managing not to win.

I seriously needed this break
As per usual with me, I’ve been reading a lot of mystery books lately. (I know what they were; they’re ABOUT mysteries, eh? ;-) ) Tons of the self-proclaimed “cozies” turned out to have some seriously gut-wrenching relationship drama, and/or depressing endings. Not helpful, during a depressing-world-status time that happens to also be a time in which our Prime Minister is spending millions of dollars destroying a huge-millions-of-dollars a year sport, in his attempt to distract Canadians from his publicly-documented corruption and his decision to NOT stop his government’s continuation of our country’s century+ -long abuse of our Indigenous peoples. (In addition to the desperate need for aboriginal-led, government-funded programs to attempt to remedy at least some of the sociological and psychological results of that abuse, there is the desperate need of a number of First Nations communities to obtain access to safe drinking water.)
Then, I rather accidentally came upon THIS book. What. A. Breath. Of. Fresh. Air!!!! :-) :-) :-)
This book is EXTREMELY well-written, and absafreakinglutely HILARIOUS!!! :-) :-) :-) And, it manages to discuss some important issues while doing so, balancing those serious notes with delightful comedy. I kept laughing aloud while listening to this book.
If you need a break from the “fun” of daily life, get this book (even if you need to save up $ to do so), and enjoy the positive chemicals flooding your brain as you laugh and laugh :-) Then, to share the joy, buy it as a gift for whatever number of loved ones you can afford to. :-)
Yes, this book is THAT good :-) :-) :-)
