Gerry Boyle

Gerry Boyle books

July 17, 2017 by Jim Peacock Leave a Comment

I’ve read a number of Gerry Boyle books over the years and have written one review but I wanted to list all the books I’ve read of his. The McMorrow series are all based on a very witty, smart aleck journalist who works at a local paper or freelances in some of his books. And someone dies… Gerry was a local reporter for the Morning Sentinal for years and brings his experience to the books…and his wit.

All his books are set in Maine and I recognize many of the places that he writes about. If you like Maine and if you haven’t read a Gerry Boyle book you need to start. Pick any one of his Jack McMorrow series books, they are all great fun. He also has started a Brandon Blake series with different characters.

My only problem with Gerry’s books are that I tend to sit down and read them in a couple days and then have to wait a year or two for the next one to come out. I guess that’s a good problem to have.

Robbed Blind (2024)  Gerry is ending his series on Jack McMorrow with these final two books. What I didn’t know was that he decided that Robbed Blind was not a “stand alone” book! When I finished this book, I realized he was finishing the twists and turns in the next book, his last. I was dumbfounded when a key person was shot at the end of Robbed Blind. I was so mad at Gerry I nearly called him 🙂  Then I had to wait until Hard Line came out 3 weeks later. Whew!

Hard Line (2024)  It was sad to see my favorite characters go away, Jack McMorrow and Claire will only be memories for me now. All good memories for sure. Thanks Gerry for so many great years of reading this series.
