Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half brother, Ben, didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up - to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? - he’s not there. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has.

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Detective Finnegan Beck is called to a crime scene - a remote house near the rural Irish town of Cross Beg - where a dog lies whimpering beside his beloved owner’s body. At first it looks like a burglary gone wrong. But Beck spots something his colleagues didn’t. The victim, Eddie Kavanagh, was wearing his smartest clothes. He’d brushed his hair. And, on closer inspection, a small velvet box containing an engagement ring is discovered in his pocket, along with a letter to a nameless woman, which seems to suggest she’s in danger.

Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was a nineteen-year-old kid with a dream of escaping his family's cramped flat on Faithful Place and running away to London with his girl, Rosie Daly. But on the night they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again. Neither did Rosie. Then, twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up.

Half hour story in two and a half hour book
On the plus side, I’ve discovered a fabulous new narrator in Aofie McMahon. Her rich Irish accent goes down smooth. She could have been reading a phone book and I’d probably have enjoyed listening just as much.
On the down side, this book was a dull slog. It starts with Niamh discovering her roommate was murdered. Then, for nearly two hours, we plod along as Niamh goes to work, and experiences the people around her speculating whether she’s involved in the murder. Perhaps this was an attempt at misdirection, to hide little clues as to the real culprit, but I found my mind wandering out of sheer boredom at scenes that never truly contributed to the story.
You could listen to the first Chapter and the final half hour, and it might make for a good “the killer’s in the house with you” murder thriller. Also, as a free Audible listen clocking in under 2.5 hours, hearing the entire book wasn’t a horrible waste.
But, given that this novella is a prequel to a police procedural series involving Cormac Reilly, you’d think the introduction of this investigator would have been better written. There was zero character development for this Reilly fellow, not for his personality or his investigation skills. In the end, listening only served to convince me not to proceed any further into the series.

Excellent
Setting: Dublin, Ireland Recent history (possibly late 90s)?
Genre: Suspense
Niamh Turley, a 22 year old primary school teacher, is dragged out of sleep by insistent knocking on her door very early on a Saturday morning. It is a man, identified as Detective Garda Cormac Reilly, asking if she had heard anything, and to call if she thought of anything. About what?
This novella is about Niamh’s roommate. Her late one or her new one? And why is she being treated like a suspect? If I give any more it will spoil it, so I will just critique it.
Like most Irish authors I have read, McTiernan shows a lot of talent, and this book is a fine example of it. It must be something in the water. The characters are well developed. Most of the focus is on Niamh, of course, but even secondary characters barely touched upon have definite personalities. The dialogue is precise and to the point without losing meaning and emotion. And the plot. Oh my goodness. The plot is tight and suspenseful. Personally, I often find novellas unsatisfying because few authors can get every element needed into a complete whole. McTiernan has the talent to get all the parts of a longer work into a condensed piece of suspense.
The narrator of this audiobook, Aoife McMahon, gives an excellent performance. She differentiates well between genders and individual characters well. She puts the listener there, with Niamh, as she reads her story.

Very strange way to end a story… Not the best I’ve ever read that’s for sure
Although this was a short book I have to say that it ended very strangely and abruptly and left you with a lot of questions… Not the best I have ever read although it did keep my attention throughout, but I’m just bummed about the ending… I don’t know if I would recommend this book very highly or not

Jarring historical inaccuracies, yet again.
This book is set in 1997. The protagonist dances with her students to Pharrell’s “Happy” and grabs a tablet on her way out of the apartment.
This is the second book I’ve read from this author that completely ignores the time at which she sets the rest of the story, like “oh, 1997 wasn’t all that long ago, the world is relatively the same”... it’s really not, and honest to god, I am really desperate for new stuff to read, but this annoys me so much that I won’t even be listening to the free audible originals from this author anymore. It’s such a shame.

Another brilliant storyline
I am completely addicted to Dervla's stories and the Cormac Reilly character. Aofie McMahon's narration is the best. Beautiful voice with intelligent narration. A winning match.

Another good book
My only issue is that this book was too short. Like The Sisters it felt very short. A good short story but I like a good 11-14 hour audio book.

Unhappy when this ended.
Like all of the Dervla McTiernan books I’ve read, I really got into the story. No sooner had it started, than it finished! It ended up being a novella. It should not have been a full-priced charge and I was bitterly disappointed when it abruptly finished. I felt cheated - it could have been an excellent story but it was cut off short.

A wonderful short story
A great short story superbly narrated by Aoife McMahon. Likeable main character and well assembled story, but it is the magnificent narration that sets these books apart.

A top audio book.
Good plot and credible characterisation. Whilst a short story compared to most audio books, it had a satisfying length. I look forward to more from Dervla McTiernan (and Aoife McMahon)

What was the point of this book?
Well narrated, however, this book went NOWHERE. I was left feeling I wasted time listening to it. Thankfully it was free or my rating would have been 1 star.

Easy listening.
Nice introduction to Cormac Reilly. Easy to listen to novella. Kinda predictable, but that's okay.
