Jack Dillon Dublin Tales #1
Welcome
MARSHAL DILLON RIDES INTO DUBLIN …And the bad guy population starts dropping. But maybe you’d better hide your women.WELCOME! is the first tale in the humorous, rollicking series of Dublin tales featuring dashing detective Jack “Dildo” Dillon by Patrick Emmett, the appropriately Irish pseudonym of Mike Faricy. Jack’s no less libidinous than Faricy’s popular Dev Haskell, but he’s a bit more mature, and way better with a gun. Think action-packed: Marshal Dillon Rides Into Dublin.Jack's a U.S. Marshal in Dublin, escorting a fugitive named Daniel Ackerman and having a wonderful time--at first. All goes smoothly and he’s had a splendid tour of the fair city in the company of Garda (Officer) Ann Dumphy, the lovely colleen assigned to mind him, up until the transfer of the prisoner at the airport. It seems Ackerman’s Russian partner would prefer that Ackerman not stand trial in the U.S., and sends a team of his thugs to prevent it. Suddenly Marshal Dillon finds himself in a very wrong place at a very wrong time. He ends up in hot water with the American Embassy for carrying a gun in Dublin, but the Irish authorities might just have a little different take on things...WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Dev Haskell and rascals like him. Also for fans of Robert B. Parker, Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, Lee Child, strong Minnesota men – especially when transplanted to Ireland, and drinkers of Guinness everywhere. Faricy is the next Carl Hiaasen. Crime Scene Mike Faricy is the author of the bestselling Dev Haskell series as well as the bestselling Corridor Man series which is written under the pseudonym Nick James. He is the winner of the 2016 International Crime Masters Silver Award.

About the author
Mike Faricy
130 books240 followersI was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I still live there as well as in Dublin, Ireland. I've been a soldier, freelance journalist, tended bar, sold designer cakes, owned a painting and decorating company along with a number of other schemes and scams. If that doesn't offend you I also play bagpipes with the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band. All my books stand alone, read them in whatever order you wish. They are filled with the sort of oddballs we are all curious about, but wisely, prefer to keep at a distance. None of my characters will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, they inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society, characters with one foot on either side of the law. The circumstances they find themselves in are usually due to bad decisions, but bad decisions lead to interesting stories. They serve not so much as an example but as a warning to us all. Thanks for taking the time, happy reading.

An OK travelogue with a shootout at the end.
Jack Dillon doesn't fit in at the Marshal service, and his boss hates him, but somehow, he gets sent to Dublin, where he meets a beautiful policewoman. The two spark up a relationship. Then the shootout with Russian mobsters.
Not a lot of plot, but entertaining nonetheless.

“Welcome” by Patrick Emmitt it is a nice little book I would not call it a piece of classic literature but it keeps a good pace and gives a good tour of Dublin.
It gets a little lost on itself from time to time wrapped up in its own story. However, the ending of is a little bit too obvious of a connection to story number two.
I enjoyed it and lightly recommend it

Jack Dillon, U.S. Marshall, is sent to Ireland to escort fugitive financier Daniel Ackerman back to the U.S. to face justice. Ackerman’s Russian partners have other ideas and send a carload of Russian thugs to stop the transfer. Dillon finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and facing the wrath of his weenie supervisor back in the U.S.
This was a really fun mix of action-packed, traditional detective story, with snappy dialogue, humor, office politics, and a light touch of romance thrown in. The characters are multi-dimensional, even the bad guys. The plot was engaging and held my interest all the way through. The ending was satisfying and set up the story for book 2 nicely.
Faricy also writes the Dev Haskell, P.I., series, the Corridor Man series, and the Hotshot series. I have read the Dev Haskell books, and like those, but I find myself more partial to Dillon. He’s a grown man with some flaws, but he also has a desire to do the right thing, the hell with the consequences. He’s an interesting character I want to learn more about. I liked this book so much I immediately bought book 2 in the series when I finished.

Welcome! Jack Dillon series Book 1
by Patrick Emmett
DEFINITE SPOILER AT THE END
I didn't read this in the edition noted by Goodreads, as they didn't have a choice of "bonus material in the back of Mike Faricy's "Art Hound," which is where I read it. So, I guess that's a dead give away that Patrick Emmett and Mike Faricy are one in the same author. Because of that fact, I was afraid Jack Dillon might be a little too similar to Dev Haskell to make it worth reading his series. And, while there are certainly similarities, the two characters seem different enough to carry their own separate series. Another anomoly is that in the form I read it, the series is called, "Jack Dillon Dublin Tale 1" and not "Jack Dillon series Book 1."
Okay -- the basics are the same for Emmett as for Faricy. Good plot line, good flow, lots of action, a main character who is not held in high regard in his chosen profession, and who is seemingly obsessed with the opposite sex, decent editing and proofing (I did find a couple errors that I'll set out later). No cliffhanger ending, although it certainly ends with an obvious lead in to future episodes. All that was good.
The first proofing error occurred at about 4029 on my Kindle (remember this was at the back of another book, so the location numbers are high), but was the 4th sentence of Chapter 12: 'As he approached he a couple of guys staring at her for a long moment as they strolled through the lobby and out the front door.' That sentence has a definite problem between the word 'approached' and the words 'a couple of guys.' I imagine it's missing the word 'noticed,' but that's just my guess.
The second proofing error occurred at 4255 on my Kindle, perhaps the 5th paragraph in Chapter 15: 'He replayed the phone call over and over again in his mind, hearing deep voice on the other end of the line.' Just a missing 'a' or 'the' between hearing and deep.
This first episode introduces the reader to Jack Dillon, a U.S. Marshall called "Dildo" by his friends. That alone should set the tone for the reader. Evidently, although he has a good record as a Marshall, he also has a habit of creating problems during his investigations, and is held in low esteem not only by his supervisor, but by his friends as well -- I mean would any real friend give you the nickname "Dildo?" He is given the assignment to travel to Dublin, Ireland, to escort a prisoner named Ackermann back to the states to begin serving a prison sentence. The crime is bank fraud, and no one expects much of a problem from this 70 year old who has been a fugitive for about a decade, having skipped the country after his conviction. When Jack arrives in Dublin, he is taken through the process he will need to follow in getting permission to take control of the prisoner and the time frame for when he will be allowed to return to the states with Ackermann. He is assigned to a female Garda, Ann, whose job will be to escort him to and from the court and the prison as needed. I probably don't need to add that they spend quite a bit of time together, getting to know one another (in all the meanings of that word). What isn't known to the Garda and Jack, is that the Russian mafia doesn't want Ackermann in jail, they want him dead. And, as Ackermann is being taken to the airport for transport, an attempt to assassinate him is made. Jack's action's there sort of seal the deal on his future.
There were some things I didn't like (see the 3 star rating, rather than the 4 I would have given the book without these). First, I thought the overweight woman seatmate of Jack's on the flight to Ireland, who took up most of their two seats and had a dog hidden in her cleavage was unnecessary. It added nothing to the plot, was fat-shaming at best, and misogynistic at worst. I think Faricy/Emmett was attempting a humorous little departure from plot, but it fell flat for me.
Also, having every woman described as to how attractive or unattractive she is also comes off as misogynistic (and, yes, that goes for the Haskell books, too). I'm assuming Faricy/Emmett wants women to read his books, so maybe judging a woman more on her character than her appearance might help there?
But the biggest beef I had is that, although you know which Garda members were killed in the airport attack, and one should assume, I guess, that the prisoner was, too, that is never set out. You know that the attackers are killed. You know Jack is shot. You know which of the four Garda are killed and which are wounded. But Ackermann? Nope. Not mentioned.
So, will I read the second book in the series? Maybe. I haven't decided.

No stone left unturned
I liked the story , the plot, the humor, the characters, but I do get annoyed when authors use cliffhangers instead of completing the story. That's why I gave it a 4. When I buy 100 dollars worth of groceries, I expect 100.00, not 85 per cent. I would not shop there anymore. I won't read books by authors who need to use the cliffhanger ruse to insure followers. If you write a good story, I will look for your next book. I don't need to be Shanghaid.

It's still early in the year, but this is a strong contender for my worst book of 2024.
If you're looking for book by a misogynistic arse with a strange predilection for starch, then this is the one for you. All the women are fully described for you to lech (or laugh/puke) over, with most of the men being big strong he-men or 100 lb weaklings. Funnily enough, the only one that doesn't rate a description is the main character (starched jeans aside), but he is an extremely unattractive man from his behaviour.
I was surprised to see the author claimed to have lived in Ireland given that his 'hilarious' nickname for his main character isn't actually a thing on this side of the Atlantic (vibrator just doesn't work the same way) He also seems to be deluded enough to believe black and white puddings are sausages, and then claim sausages are better. Well, they've never been sausages, that was entirely the author's own 'translation'.
Needless to say, I won't be wasting any more time on this author's drivel.

Mayhem abounds
A good, fast paced story with a lot happening? Dillon goes to Ireland to escort a criminal back to the US for trial. He meets a female Garuda agent who is his liaison and they hit it off wonderfully. She takes him around Dublin, both asa tourist and as a new found friend/lover. This gives the reader some good views of the city. But as they are taking the prisoner to the airport, they are attacked and Dillon does his best to bring down the Russian thugs and save the Garda agents. He winds up in the hospital and given problems by the US, and a chance for revenge by the Garda.
All in all the book is interesting and full of good writing. Somewhat predictable, but a good story. We are left hanging at the end, but that means readers are ready for the next book in the series.

I've read most of Mike Faricy's books, and this is a new series by him under the pen name of Patrick Emmett. Jack Dillon is a U.S. marshal who has been sent to Ireland to bring a convicted felon back to the United States. Like Faricy's protagonist in the previous books, Jack does enjoy women; but not as obsessively as Dev Haskell. This story doesn't have all of the humor as in the Haskell books and there is more violence.
I enjoyed learning more about Dublin while Marshal Dillon is there waiting to return with the felon, and the characters are well developed. This is definitely a good start for the Jack Dillon series.

Marshal Dillon arrives in Dublin to escort a banker back to the US on charges of steeling 300 million dollars. After a fun weekend with a beautiful garda picked to keep Dillon out of trouble it's time to get back to work. What ensues is a gun battle between Dillon and Russian mobsters. The US goes crazy wanting to nail Dillon to the cross. Ireland is grateful that he saved lives and wants to reward him.
Well, Dillon officially becomes Ireland's headache. This is an adventurous, amusing story with charismatic characters set in a beautiful location so well described that it makes you want to hop on the next plane out to Ireland. Very Highly Recommended.

I enjoyed this novel more than I expected. It was an unannounced additional free novel attached to the copy of Art Hound I downloaded free from Amazon, and I was actually surprised to see it there when I got to the end of the book. I kept reading along, and actually liked it a lot better.
It's the first in a series. A U.S. Marshall named Jack Dillon (his colleagues all call him "Dildo" to torment him) catches the ire of his boss, and is sent to accompany the extradition of a Russian crime boss to Dublin where he is wanted for trial. A clever young Irish officer assigned to oversee him shows him around town, and I enjoyed recalling all the familiar places they went. She shows she can hold her own in a tough spot. Tensions arise when Russians plan to help him escape, Dillon steps in when a hero is needed, and the U.S. bureaucrats want to blame him to bury their problems. However, Jack has won the support and loyalty of the Irish Garda, so this is first in a series.

Having read his other books under Mike Farcy, and this is another comical series with his love of women and mishap. He has a boss that doesn’t like him, Jack, who is a US Marshall, saying he is the only one that can go to Ireland and bring back a prisoner. The Russian mob had other ideas. Shooting at the airport and Jack winds up in hospital.
Good start to a new series, and wondering where Jack is going to do next.

This is the first of the Marshall Dillon books and sets up the series in a slow-paced, methodical style. Dillon, unpopular with his boss, is assigned to taking a prisoner back to Ireland and return over the weekend. Once in Ireland, the story takes off. Events cause Dillon’s stay to be extended. Sightseeing, interaction with other members of the Garda, and the emergence of Dillon’s true personality make this a good story. It does leave you hanging, but it is the first in the series.

Another not to exciting story for me. Dillion a cop was sent to Ireland on a special
assignment. It was to go pick up a dangerous man from prison there and transport him to America for sentencing and a trial. He met Ann there and she spent time showing him Ireland. Things were different there. Things didnt go so well as planned . Dillon got shot and so did Ann who was working with them. There is a tale 2 at the end called Sweet Dreams.

A certain amount of patience is required to read this book, as not much happens for the first two-thirds. The remaining third is entertaining; it's just a shame it took so long. I'm not sure if it's worth the wait. The last part of the book is when the plot kicks in, and the potential is promising after establishing the main characters' personalities. So, the story is set up for the next book. I'll probably give the series another chance to convince me to invest more time into the story.

A modern Marshall Dillon.
Not a Western. Takes place in Dublin. Jack is sent on assignment to return a fugitive who'd been caught in Ireland. He was supposed to bring the prisoner back for incarceration but the Russian mob had other plans and Jack was the only good guy who was armed.

A bit of a book.
I like the story but it is quite unresolved. I would call this a beginning. This is definitely not a stand-alone book. Even if it is part of a series, it should be able to stand alone. Perhaps with the rest of the series and a copy editor, this could grow into a good book.

Marshall Dillon goes to Ireland to bring back a fugitive ex-banker he meets and goes out with Garda Ann. They hit it off but then it’s time to get to fugitive to the airport. Nothing is ever easy. It was a little slow in the beginning when you are being introduced to the characters. It’s a good character build and situation that holds your attention and makes you want to know what happens next.

Sex, sex, and more...Oh, and there is a murder mystery here.
The cop the boss doesn't appreciate, right? Never saw that before, have we. And a line of women waiting for him, before and after the shooting starts. Yes .
But there is a good description of the streets and bars of Dublin - and the proper way to pour a glass of Guinness.

Watch out. Cliffhanger.
The story itself was quite good and introduced the main character and associates. Unfortunately, it ends with a cliffhanger - which I hate! Will this be the way each of the books in the series end? I'd like to continue reading the series but that element may prevent me from doing so.

Hmm.
"A humorous international mystery." Sorry, but I didn't see any humor in this story. Some caricatures of people with inflated senses of importance, lots of sex and booze, the standard number of profanities, ugly Americans and Russians, but no humor. Teasing out the story line gives a decent plot and some sort of appealing characters. That's about it.

Welcome
This author is a new read for me and so far I have been pulled into Jack Dillon plot. Patrick Dillon aka Mike Faricy has a gift in storytelling that seems to draw the readers into his storyline, with hope the next intro to Jack polite well keep there interested. Worthy read. I like your attempt as a man author attempt to bring a slight romance into the mix. Keep it up it will make it more interesting.

Jack Dillon
A very good book. Loved Jack Dillon and can't wait to read more of his adventures in Dublin. The editing was superb and great characters. The book was very funny in places and really enjoyed that. Highly recommend this book.

Marshall Dillon
A U S Marshall is sent to Ireland to bring back a felon. Things don't go well for him. I'm enjoying the book, when it says "The End". That means I'll have to buy the next book to continue the story. I hate that.

Good story
Not one of those run of the mill books. Love the characters and especially the American Marshal. Also thoughts and determined Anne can't wait to find out what happens to them. This reads like a promising series.

An engaging series starter
I’ve been to Dublin and fortunately had a far more enjoyable stay than had by Marshall Dillon. Maybe that’s due to the very different worlds we life in. I have no interest in joining him but I will following along through the series.

Marshal Dhillon is not the mindless womaniser the book blurb led us to believe
This made the book readable. The plot is heavy enough for genre and the characters though not deep are likeable. A good read!

Mike Faricy has another good lead character. Jack Dillion is very different than Dev, but is more believable. This book had good character development; a good story; and well-written. Well done! 4 1/2 stars, but I'll round up to five stars.

I think the story ended in the middle. You are built up to a really high point and 'The End'. The book could have been twice as long, twice as exciting and four times as good a read! But, that's just my thoughts.
