The Journal by Derick Parsons is my second Jack O’Neill detective novel and I can tell you, I was not disappointed.  For those of you who have not read Parsons previous O’Neill tale, Jack O’Neill is an inspector for the Gardia in a suburb of Dublin, Ireland.  O’Neill was a one-time successful detective turned drunk when I first began my journey with him in Redemption Song, by the end of it he had kicked the habit and returned to the glories of excellent detective work.In The Journal O’Neill and poet partner Frank are at it again when a double homicide lands in their laps.  The trail leads them to a looneytoons short man who has been suppressing his violent urges for most of his life.  When a series of events pulls him out into the open, Jack and Frank have to work quickly to prevent further tragedy.I thoroughly enjoy the dynamic between Jack and Frank and look forward to reading more about the pair.  If you enjoy a good detective novel then you’ll enjoy the Jack O’Neill books.
