Iain Glen returns as the Galway private detective. Things are a little better for Jack, he was bequeathed some property in a will.
Cody has recovered from his shooting ordeal but it seems he is moving to America. However while doing a favour for Garda Kate, it is not too long before Jack gets embroiled in a murder investigation as a dead body is found crucified.
This new series of films has seen a change of actress who plays Kate Noonan, now played by actress Siobhan O'Kelly. The character has also been given a health scare.
Although Cody has been written out, Jack is joined by another eager young sidekick called Darragh an ex-con turned to Buddhism who grew up in Manchester (also related to Kate.) It looks like Darragh might have got too close to the killer, who might look sweet, innocent but is also troubled having visions of a dead relative who died and would do anything to get revenge.
We see a more relaxed Jack Taylor here less of the boorish, drunken lout we have seen in the past. The story although grisly was a bit humdrum but my word the baddie was demented.
