Burning revenge
- By Bernadette Aitken on 16-02-2019
Publisher's Summary
"With her third novel Dervla McTiernan confirms she's a born storyteller" (Val McDermid)
The unputdownable new novel from the best-selling 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.

Engaging crime drama
I really enjoy this author, she creates interesting plotlines and enough suspense to drive the story. Her characters are engaging and interesting, and the settings are illustrated so that the reader feels a real sense of place.
I sometimes feel that Cormac Reilly, however, could do with just a touch more humanism, as s he seems too good to be true.

Yay for Dervis McTiernan and roundstone
I’ve been waiting ages to read Dervis McTiernans new novel. I’m not disappointed beautifully written with characters to love, Aoife McMahons rendition is wonderful I love her voice. Unfortunately I’ve read it too quickly and will have to be patient for her next story.
