Dublin isn’t a city that I know particularly well, but I found myself getting a real feel for the place as Patrick quite literally navigates his way between the shady cast of characters. Add to that, no qualms or, conversely, congratulatory self-conceit over all the smooth lying to Olivia, about the job, or the new baby.

However, some of the detail in this novel made for great reading, with the descriptions of cooking being a highlight for me as well as the structure of the book meaning each section followed Patrick’s to-do list. More seriously, his newfound domestic distractions have caused him to bungle what should have been a pair of routine hits, putting his employment in jeopardy.Keith Bruton's passion for his hometown of Dublin and for crime fiction shines like a beacon in hiis glorious debut novel . A fine crime novel: at one moment offbeat, with a darkly funny Irish lilt, and the next moment hard and uncompromising. At the end of the day, this is just a weird love story masqueraded as a very weak thriller that lacks convincing, developed characters, coherence and a plot.

Welcome to The Lemonman, where the cocktails are made with fresh seasonal ingredients from the Mediterranean and the joie de vivre of our skilled bartenders.

Finally, the flashes of life in Dublin, filtered to us through Patrick’s eyes and keen descriptions, show us the good and the bad, the beauty and the grime…but again, he does not editorialize or react emotionally to what’s ugly or rude on a street-corner, or lovely in a park.

Featuring a hitman with heart - not to mention a bike, a man bun, and a baby he found on the job - The Lemon Man is wildly entertaining. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Not to mention finishing a hit job and bringing the victims baby home with you 😂 It was a real blend of all sorts and madness but it totally worked. In a follow-up study, Dunning and Kruger left the lab and went to a gun range, where they quizzed gun hobbyists about gun safety.

Sometimes we try things that lead to favorable outcomes, but other times—like the lemon juice idea—our approaches are imperfect, irrational, inept or just plain stupid. This book is also a bit of a love letter to Dublin and the way the author described the scene made me feel like I was there.

The main character ‘The Lemon Man’ is a very likeable character and I enjoyed seeing the care giver side of him while simultaneously out on jobs as a hitman. Whether it’s the intense descriptions of assassinations and intimidations going right or going wrong, I don’t really get a thing from Patrick about what he’s feeling, in such situations. This kind of book wouldn’t normally be my cup of tea but thanks to the author for sending me a physical copy to review.

I enjoyed the way his character was portrayed and I often found myself rooting for him even though he is a violent hitman.
