Ken Bruen is a singular voice in crime fiction "with his ear for lilting Irish prose and his taste for the kind of gallows humor heard only at the foot of the gallows" (New York Times Book Review). In The Ghosts of Galway, he brings those elegiac talents to bear on a case involving a famously blasphemous red book and Bruen's equally profane antihero Jack Taylor.

As well-versed in politics, pop culture, and crime fiction as he is ill-fated in life, Jack Taylor is recovering from a mistaken medical diagnosis and a failed suicide attempt. In need of money, and with former cop on his resume, Jack has been hired as a night-shift security guard. But his Ukrainian boss has Jack in mind for a bit of off-the-books work. He wants Jack to find what some claim to be the first true book of heresy, The Red Book, currently in the possession of a rogue priest who is hiding out in Galway after fleeing a position at the Vatican. Despite Jack's distaste for priests of any stripe, the money is too good to turn down. Em, the many-faced woman who has had a vise on Jack's heart and mind for the past two years, reappears and turns out to be entangled with the story of The Red Book, too, leading Jack down ever more mysterious and lethal pathways.

It seems all sides are angling for a piece of Jack Taylor, but as The Ghosts of Galway twists toward a violent end, he is increasingly plagued by ghosts--by the disposable and disposed of in a city filled with as much darkness as the deepest corners of Jack's own mind.

Good looker but terrible performance
Color: 2-Speed Rechargeable Set with Charging Base
I purchased the product and the base would not attach from the charging module. This is their big selling point. I requested a replacement and sadly the replacement was of the same batch run as the original soo…. Yeah that base would not detach. There are videos showing how easy it is to detach base from charging module. Not theses units. Circle Joy customer service is an @gmail.com. They said base is not designed to be removed frequently. I reminded them the separation feature is their highlighted feature. I was just looking for a base. Circle Joy said no…. If I do not like either unit just return them to Amazon.???? In the meantime, after maybe a dozen grinds, the original unit quit grinding normally and would barely grind at all. I shook it out and it worked again but doesn’t sound right. Two takeaways: 1) Poor product quality. 2) I am sooo done with trying to work with Amazon on replacement items. Save yourself a tone of aggravation and just return the order and reorder if you dare. Otherwise good looking and heavy feel and works great about 10 times. Too bad so sad. Now I have this huge return hassle with Amazon.

Really Effective Utility
Color: Black/Black
I’m extremely impressed with this Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set! From the moment I started using it, it made seasoning meals so much easier and more enjoyable. The one-touch operation is incredibly convenient, especially when cooking with both hands occupied. The grinders are powerful, consistent, and produce the perfect grind every time. I also love the adjustable coarseness settings, which let me switch from a fine grind for everyday dishes to a coarser texture for steaks and salads. The build quality feels sturdy and premium, and the modern design looks great on my kitchen counter and dining table. Overall, this grinder set combines style, convenience, and performance perfectly. It’s a fantastic addition to any kitchen and would make a great gift as well. Highly recommended!

A Small Luxury That Makes a Big Difference
Color: Black/Black
I absolutely love these salt and pepper grinders. They’re sleek, modern, attractive on the table, and honestly much nicer looking than I expected for the price. They even come with their own little caddy, which keeps everything neat and organized and looks great when guests are over. What I love most is how easy they are to use. You simply press a button and instantly get perfectly ground salt or pepper. No twisting, no awkward grinding with two hands, no effort at all. I especially love this for pepper because I use a lot of it when cooking things like soups, lentils, and large meals. Before, hand grinding would make my arm tired, and sometimes I’d end up with uneven chunks of pepper. With these, the grind is smooth, even, and consistent every time. You just hold the button and move it around — quick, simple, and efficient. They also hold a generous amount of salt and pepper, so you’re not constantly refilling them every few days. Honestly, they make cooking easier, they look beautiful on the table, and they feel much more expensive than they are. Excellent purchase and a fantastic gift idea.

Great idea, great product
Color: Black/Black
I’ve been using this electric salt and pepper grinder set for a few weeks now and it’s one of those kitchen upgrades you don’t realize you needed until you have it. the top refill design makes it quick and easy to fill with course salt or peppercorns. It holds a good amount so youre not constantly refilling it I really appreciate that these grinders are rechargeable, and therefore a little more eco friendly. The battery life has been solid so far, and I haven’t had to worry about it dying mid-meal. Using it is super simple, It’s truly one-hand, one-button operation, which makes a big difference when you’re cooking. You can grind seasoning while stirring or holding a pan with your other hand. There’s also an LED light that turns on while grinding, so you can actually see how much seasoning you’re adding—small detail, but surprisingly helpful. There’s a small dial underneath that adjusts the grind size from course to fine. and the salt and pepper come out in a really uniform, consistent grind. Overall, the pros—easy refilling, rechargeable design, adjustable grind size, uniform results, —definitely outweigh the cons. It’s a practical, stylish upgrade that makes everyday cooking feel just a little easier and more polished.

Great Quality, Easy to Use, and Looks Sharp on the Counter
Color: Black/Black, Color: Black/Black
I’ve been using this electronic salt and pepper grinder set for a bit now, and I’m honestly really impressed. First off, the one-handed operation is a game changer. Just press the button and you’re good to go—super convenient when you’re cooking and juggling multiple things. The grind is consistent, and the adjustable coarseness actually works well (not just a gimmick like some others I’ve tried). The build quality feels solid, and I like the clear chamber so you can easily see when you’re running low. The LED light is a nice touch too—it’s subtle but helpful, especially when cooking in lower lighting. Aesthetically, they look clean and modern. The black finish with the matching base makes them look great sitting on the counter instead of having to hide them away. Battery life has been good so far, and refilling is straightforward without making a mess. Overall, these are a big upgrade from manual grinders—more convenient, better control, and they look great. Definitely recommend if you cook regularly or just want something a little nicer in your kitchen setup.
