Summary
Dorothy Graham is dead, which is inconvenient, not least for her. Luckily, she has planned for this eventuality. Now, if any of the truly dreadful people she is related to want to get their hands on her money, they’re going to have to do so via a fiendish difficult and frankly bizarre competition of Dorothy’s devising. After all, just because you’re dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a last laugh at the expense of people who made your life miserable.
Paul Mulchrone, to his unending credit, is neither related to Dorothy or happy that she is dead; What he is however is a contestant in this competition whether he likes it or not, which he definitely doesn’t. He and his off-again on-again girlfriend, the formidable Brigit, are supposed to be running MCM Investigations, a detective agency. Instead, they have to go into battle against Dorothy’s bloodsucking relatives. As if that wasn’t enough, they get hired by the aforementioned dead woman to find out who killed her.
DI Jimmy Stewart is enjoying his retirement - in the sense that he definitely isn’t. He is bored out of his mind. When the offer comes to get back into the crime solving business, it is too good to turn down. But when he finds himself teamed up with the nephew of a man he threw in prison, and a flatulent dog, he starts to think that taking up lawn bowls wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
The Final Game is a stand-alone crime novel perfect for listeners new to Caimh McDonnell’s blackly comic take on his hometown, as featured in the international best-selling Dublin Trilogy books. His previous works have been optioned for TV and nominated for awards, which they somehow keep managing not to win.

I mucking love Dorothy Graham
This is the perfect stand alone to the Dublin trilogy. As always with Caimh's books, it is exquisitely written and superbly voiced.

Perfect
This combination of story teller and narrator create books that I never want to end.
Funny, heartwarming tales, packed with utterly delightful characters. Just wonderful.
I do hope they are busy with the next installment.

I laughed and laughed
Caimh McDonnel has a way of setting up scenes full of visual humour. Final Game has it in spades. I won't spoil the book by describing them, but if you like Still Game then this is for you.
His dialogue is excellent and all the funnier for the surprising twists.
Morgan C Jones gives a top flight performance. Well worth listening to just for his breadth of talent.

Caimh and Morgan do it again!
I really enjoy all Caimhs books but this for me was the funniest. One chapter had me laughing so much I had to keep rewinding it because I missed what was being said!
I was a little worried at first that there was no Bunny in it, but it didn't matter. Great story, brilliant narration.

One of the best
What should be a 'nothing filler' is - if you've read the rest of the Bunnyverse - is literally one of the best. It kind of answers the questions. Such fun!

Cracking good romp.
Knives Out meets The Truman Show.
Very funny, very witty, it has good pace and kept me turning the pages until the end. Most enjoyable.
