Massey has an eye for black humor and the details of a life fully inhabited. ... He's got the natural voice of a storyteller.
-NPR
Refreshing... It takes the subject of death and turns it into an adventure that is both funny and thought-provoking... A mix of black comedy, adventure and hilarious love story, The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley is smart storytelling from a writer whose knowledge of the undertaking business shines through.
-The Irish Times
Jeremy Massey does for Ireland what Carl Hiaasen does for Florida.
-The Charlotte Observer
This is what we call 'a nightstand book' at our house: It will joyfully make its way from my nightstand to my husband's. The gifted Jeremy Massey has created a complex, fascinating and hilarious Irishman in Paddy Buckley, the delightful center of a novel brimming with passion, humor, poetry and wisdom that only comes from the Emerald Isle, where the best stories are born.
-Adriana Trigiani, author of The New York Times-bestseller The Shoemaker's Wife
Jeremy Massey puts a fresh and intriguing spin on the Irish crime novel with the tale of an ordinary man drawn into a deadly conflict with a Dublin mob boss. The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley is both a cleverly constructed thriller and an unforgettable story of friendship, love, and loyalty. It's sharply written, darkly comic, and full of heart.
-Harry Dolan, author of the New York Times bestseller Bad Things Happen
[An] intelligent and suspenseful debut novel ... A hilarious funeral home scam and a quirky dead body mix-up add to this exciting, morbid tale.
-Publishers Weekly
Highly readable and entertaining...the novel benefits especially from Massey's mostly restrained, deadpan Irish sense of humor.
-Kirkus Reviews
[Massey's] dark and zany humor is anchored by some serious reflection.
