In The Dramatist, Jack Taylor finally appears to be cleaning up his act though out of force rather than choice: his dealer has been busted and incarcerated. When his jailed former supplier asks Jack to investigate the suspicious death of his sister, Jack agrees against his better judgment.

As usual with the Jack Taylor series, the mystery storyline is intriguing but not as interesting as the story of Jack himself. His character is seemingly evolving by forgoing alcohol and cocaine, mending fences with his ailing mother, and actually dating a woman properly. His continual struggles to stay sober are compelling and tragic. The Dramatist is the best entry in the series so far, and has an ending that is absolutely jaw-dropping.
