Feverish, lyrical and gripping from beginning to end. - Independent (30 best books for summer 2019) Intoxicating and chilling. - Observer Pacy and exciting... The novel is written ... lyrically, with an offbeat humour, which helps defamiliarise a situation to which Western readers have become inured, and communicate its horrors afresh. - Daily Telegraph Strong stuff... MacGabhann's blend of violent action and vivid, even lyrical description is laced with dark humour and is very readable. - Guardian A memorable book that has arrived out of the blue, and is all the more welcome for it. - Crime Time (Highly Recommended) A superb rollercoaster of a read from an incredible new talent. - Irish Examiner Call Him Mine soars in two regards. First MacGabhann paints an extraordinarily vivid picture of Mexico, in all its seething, sweltering madness and beauty... The second is the quality of MacGabhann's prose. Phrases like 'bruised poetry' sound glib I know, but it's about the best way I can think of describing Call Him Mine... It will be interesting to see where MacGabhann's career goes next. For now, Call Him Mine is a fine start. - Irish Independent
