About this listen

Gathered together for the first time and featuring two brand new stories, this collection contains all of the short stories and novellas featuring Bunny McGarry, star of the million-selling Dublin Trilogy. Spanning his entire career in law enforcement and beyond, these stories give a whole new perspective on Ireland’s most truly unconventional police officer as he juggles being a force for justice and managing the world’s worst under-12s hurling team.

The new stories, The Many Deaths of Timmy Branch and Meanwhile in Dublin chart the journey from his first New Year’s Eve on the job doing the crappiest gig imaginable, to the present day, where someone is trying to dig up some rather sensitive information about him.

Dive in to find out why The Irish Post said these are ‘brilliant comedic thrillers', The Strand Magazine considers them to be ‘A modern great of crime comedy’ and why the Wall Street Journal described them as ‘poignant, suspenseful and gut-bustingly funny’.

Bunny McGarry Shorts contains:

The Many Deaths of Timmy Branch (Short Story): It’s New Year’s Eve and Probationer Garda Bunny McGarry has been tasked with guarding evidence as retribution for doing his job properly. When a call is received, it’s down to Bunny to leap into (and onto) action.

Meanwhile in Dublin (Novella): Brigit is having quite the day. She’s organised to take her dad’s bride-to-be wedding dress shopping and has assembled a motley crew to join her. Paul isn’t faring much better as he agreed to play golf with Brigit’s dad and highly irritating brothers despite having never picked up a golf club in his life. When news of a strange deed reaches them, their day takes a turn from bad to worse.

Dog Day Afternoon (Short Story)
How to Send a Message (Short Story)
Escape from Victory (Novella)
Bloody Christmas (Novella)
Good Deeds and Bad Intentions (Novella)

Please note: Most of the short stories included in this collection were previously available in How to Send A Message.

A laugh a minute and great stories

I listen in the car and I can't count how many times someone caught me belly laughing at the exploits of Bunny, Deckie or some other character. Although it's a grouping of shorts, this well may be the most entertaining of Caimh's books to date. Bunny McGarry is perhaps the character I'd most like to sit next to in an NYC bar and spend an evening with. Bravo, Caimh!

Bunny and his crew return to give us all a chuckle.

Bunny McGarry and his associates provided much needed laughs. Couple that with the tender disposition of the character’s juxtaposed against occasional bursts of violence made for a fun listen. As always the narrator’s voices were imaginative and spot on. Loved every moment. The opportunity to revisit some of Bunny’s adventures was a treat.

I can’t think of a clever Bunny pun

Caimh McDonnell is a national treasure - for any country. His books are a damned delight and I’m willing to fight anyone who argues the point. I first discovered him thanks to an Audible, “if you like Douglas Adams, you’ll dig this” recommend and while most of those recs are garbage, they were 100% with McDonnell’s novels. He’s Irish Adams, despite currently living in London (allegedly).

Anyhoooo, this is a fantastic cluster of short stories in the Bunniverse that I, sadly, listened to in one day (I had a lot of cleaning to do). I loved them all. Morgan Jones is perfection (although I have some notes on some of the New York accents, but since I can’t do any accents, I’ll keep them to myself)!

My only notes are about American terminology… but they are persnickety AF. Nobody -and I can’t emphasize the word, “nobody” enough - uses the terms “Father Christmas” or “Happy Christmas” in the US. Nobody. There were a few other language slips, but who the eff cares (pedantic, party of a very lonely one)? If you love Bunny (and you should), download this stat!

Love this series

The stories and narrator are the best. I love every single one of these stories. The writer has the best imagination and clearly knows how to make the dialogue sound real. The narrator uses the perfect accent for each character. I’m looking forward to more amazing books.
