Publisher's Summary
"With her third novel, Dervla McTiernan confirms she's a born storyteller." (Val McDermid)
The unputdownable number one best seller from the author of The Ruin and The Scholar.
Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy and the mystery of a little girl's silence - three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town.
While Detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, Garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.
For some, like Anna and her young daughter Tilly, Roundstone is a refuge from trauma. But even this village on the edge of the sea isn't far enough to escape from the shadows of evil men.
Praise for Dervla Mc Tiernan:
"Intelligent and fast-paced.... We can't wait [for the next case]." (Wall Street Journal)
"Top-notch crime writing." (Kate Forsyth)
"Like The Ruin, The Scholar is a fast-paced, rewarding read." (Irish Examiner)
"A truly fine police procedural that should see the author rocket from star to superstar." (Irish Independent)
"Taut, tense and darkly addictive." (Candice Fox)
"Confirms McTiernan's place in the top rank of crime writers." (Chris Hammer)
"The Ruin was an outstanding debut but The Scholar proves beyond a doubt that Dervla McTiernan is a remarkable talent...crime fiction of the highest standard." (Jane Casey)
"A story that is as moving as it is fast-paced." (Val McDermid)
"A writer to watch." (Publishers Weekly)
"Dervla McTiernan's first novel far outclasses some of the genre's stalwarts, marking her as a crime writer to watch, and Cormac Reilly a cop to follow to hell and back. Fans of Ian Rankin and Tana French will feel right at home." (Bookseller + Publisher)

Gripping
Dervla tells a great story and Aoife is simply the best performer on Audible. In this particular encounter you find yourself getting wound up by the villains and injustice of the situation, I really enjoyed it.

Wow!
This last part of Reilly stories ties it all together. A very believable story, no superman events, or unbelievable lucky escapes. Just a great story written very well. Bring on the next one …. please.

New settings and new twists
As always Aoife threw it out the ball park. Her narration is great. I wish there’d been a bit more Riley and less Fisher but I liked the twists in the story. I also always enjoy listening about Ireland. 3rd book of Dervla’s that I read and I’ll probably read the 4th

Thoroughly enjoyable
The narration of this book is exceptional. Male voices are heard as male, female as female, it’s superb. Couple that with an interesting, well written and captivating story which you won’t want to stop listening to.
I highly recommend putting this book at the top of your wish list.

Great story. Very suspenseful.
I quite love this series.
Only complaint I have is that the Farsi accent imitation by the reader was terrible.

Engrossing!
Excellent story - characters well developed and plausible. Narrator is outstanding. Enough twists and turns to make the whole story most satisfying.
