I downloaded a free digital copy of this short story in February 2019. I am now not sure how I stumbled across this title and it appears to no longer be available to buy. That said, there are several full-length novels in this series, The McGarry Stateside Series.
The blurb:
Good Deeds and Bad IntentionsIt's the night before Christmas and Bunny McGarry is hard at work. New York is the city that never sleeps and it certainly doesn’t take days off. Just because it's the holidays it doesn't mean that bad people aren't up to no good. Helena Martinez is trying to start a new life for her and her son but her ex-husband has other ideas. When she is approached by a mysterious woman with an offer of help she has to choose between running again or trusting a ragtag bunch of strangers and their unconventional methods.
Good Deeds and Bad Intentions is a festive Bunny McGarry short story.
Caimh McDonnell is the author of the critically-acclaimed Dublin Trilogy featuring Bunny McGarry, which melds high-octane action with a distinctly Irish acerbic wit.

My thoughts:
I loved this short story. I opened the book and read the humorous Author's Note on Language and realised that this was an author whose works I would definitely enjoy.The story itself is set in New York on Christmas Eve. It has an interesting plotline, none of which I found predictable. The ending ties off all the threads and provides Bunny McGarry with a lead to a group he has been trying to track down, opening the door to another story.
Good Deeds and Bad Intentions kept me intrigued and entertained and appealed greatly to my sense of humour. It has left me wanting more.
Far from reducing my TBR pile, I have now added the 5 books in the McGarry Stateside to my wish list.
