Geoff Quaife’s “The Irish Fiasco” commended by the US Review of Books for its compelling plot

Geoff Quaife’s The Irish Fiasco, part of the Luke Tremayne series, has been critically acclaimed by the US Review of Books for showcasing a compelling plot.

According to book critic Kate Robinson from the USRB, the novel contains some “surprising twists and turns” throughout the main character’s journey. Robinson writes:

“Tremayne is a seventeenth-century James Bond, and we soon find him quaffing drink and seeking adventure in the arms of the attractive women who populate his world. Readers will enjoy guessing who will be the next conquest or femme fatale. Throughout his journeys, he’s often thwarted by a Royalist gentlewoman who calls herself Arabella McGregor, supposedly the sister of the slain commander…The surprising twists and turns finally lead Tremayne into the Wicklow Mountains where he must compete with the priest of a secret Catholic refuge to find the hidden silver. Predictably, a final cliffhanger upends Tremayne’s balance but leaves him on the threshold of more adventures.”

The book follows Luke’s murder investigation and search for stolen silver. His probe is complicated by intriguing Royalists, Irish rebels, influential women, treacherous comrades, a loveable witch, maladjusted siblings, murderous charcoal burners, and devious priests.
