"Pull up a chair and stay a while. I write thrillers and poetry. Perfectly compatible genres, in case you wondered. Poetry hones the mind and the skill, as well as providing a respite from the intense commitment I make when I'm in the midst of a thriller.
Please spend some time with me. I'm sure you'll find something to interest you in my place here in cyberspace. Sign my guestbook and leave me a message before you go. Do come back often. Thank you!"
I'll jump right in by showing you some of the reviews that I've been receiving for my first novel, The CIRCLE of SODOM.
"An excellent read! " - Shelley Glodowski, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Part Tom Clancy, part Michael Crichton, The CIRCLE of SODOM by Pat Mullan provides an entertaining and thrilling read of the first order ... the chilling suspense will keep you restless !!! Mullan is ready with another MacDara thriller, BLOOD RED SQUARE. I have already booked my copy!! "Recommended, highly recommended !!!" - Narayan Radhakrishnan, NEW MYSTERY READER
"You know you're reading a good thriller when you start to cast it for the movie before you've even finished." - Eithne Hannigan, Book Reviews, CONNEMARA LIFE magazine
"a rollicking ride...a great new book in the thriller genre!" Peggy Vincent, author of Baby Catcher - film rights have been optioned by Elliot Gould's production studio and the screenplay has been assigned |
And here are some of the most recent reviews that I’ve been getting for my latest thriller, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL (you can read the opening chapter- titled 'Tribunal' - in the anthology DUBLIN NOIR, out now in the US from Akashic Books, and in the UK and Ireland from Brandon Books):
“Pat Mullan’s latest, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, is a razor blade down the spine. So fast-paced, expect whiplash. This is Irish noir with a hero whom you’ll want at your back in any gunfight. Grab a copy and clear your schedule!” James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of BLACK ORDER.
"A high-powered legal thriller chocked full of betrayal, deceit, corruption, and murder. Mullan is Ireland's answer to John Grisham, with a smattering of Ross MacDonald thrown in. THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL will make your head spin." JA Konrath, author of RUSTY NAIL.
“Pat Mullan is a natural born storyteller with a gripping, engaging style. He may just be the next big thing in Irish crime fiction.” Jason Starr, author of LIGHTS OUT.
“THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL bristles with ingenuity, and a plot to kill for … this is a thriller of such high caliber that it transcends all genres … has all the Irish gifts: dizzy narrative, sly humor, and marvelous readability. It rocks! Ken Bruen, Edgar and Macavity Award winning author of THE GUARDS.
“THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL is a tight, intelligent thriller. Author Pat Mullan blends political intrigue and murder with a unique Irish flavor that goes down smooth. His hero, Ed Burke, is striking – almost an anti-hero in some respects. To unravel the deception and save himself, Burke must test old friendships, and determine who to trust in an Ireland changed by the Celtic Tiger. Mullan writes suspense with an edge reminiscent of Bob Ludlum. An author to watch.” Cerri Ellis, Mostly Mystery Reviews.
