Reviews
"A gripping mystery set in Galway that spans 20 years. It's a complicated page-turning story that touches on corruption, clandestine cover-ups, and criminal conspiracy. . . . A story that's as moving as it is fast-paced." --The Daily Mail "Dervla McTiernan's deliciously complicated police procedural The Ruin begins when a young man jumps to his death from a bridge in Galway, Ireland--or does he? His girlfriend doesn't think Jack took his life, and neither does the detective who knew him from another case twenty years earlier. But the harder they dig for answers, the farther the truth recedes, and the more complicated and dangerous their investigation becomes. Fans of Tana French will love McTiernan's expertly plotted, complex web of secrets that refuse to stay hidden." --Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King's Daughter "The Ruin is dark and compelling, with the satisfaction of a police procedural and the atmosphere of a gothic mystery. I was gripped by it, and by the complicated, resourceful characters of Aisling and Maude." --Flynn Berry, author of Under the Harrow "Compelling, unexpected twists and a hold-your breath standoff. . . . Hand this one to readers of Tana French and to police-procedural fans." --Booklist, Named one of LitHub's Most Anticipated Crime, Mystery, and Thrillers of Summer 2018 "A gripping mystery set in Galway that spans 20 years. It's a complicated page-turning story that touches on corruption, clandestine cover-ups, and criminal conspiracy. . . . A story that's as moving as it is fast-paced." --The Daily Mail "This searing debut brings together procedural and psychological thriller for a fascinating portrait of small-town Ireland and its big city problems. Addiction, suicide, corruption, and desperation all play their part in this intricate, unsettling noir. Ireland's experiencing an incredible new wave of women crime writers, spearheaded by the indomitable Tana French, and Dervla McTiernan is a fine new addition to a growing scene." --LitHub "Dervla McTiernan's deliciously complicated police procedural The Ruin begins when a young man jumps to his death from a bridge in Galway, Ireland--or does he?

McTiernan neatly ties [the threads of the novel] all together in the suspenseful conclusion.

The Ruin , set in Ireland, follows detective Cormac Reilly as he reopens an investigation from 20 years ago. He's determined to connect Hilaria Blake's overdose in the past to her son Jack's recent death. Get invested now, because there are at least two more Cormac Reilly books coming in the future." -- HelloGiggles "Dervla McTiernan's deliciously complicated police procedural The Ruin begins when a young man jumps to his death from a bridge in Galway, Ireland--or does he?

Hand this one to readers of Tana French and to police-procedural fans." --Booklist It's been twenty years since Detective Cormac Reilly discovered the body of Hilaria Blake in her crumbling home. But he's never forgotten the two children she left behind... When Aisling Conroy's boyfriend Jack is found in the freezing black waters of the river Corrib in Ireland, the police tell her it was suicide. She throws herself into work, trying to forget--but Jack's sister Maude reappears in Ireland after years abroad, determined to prove Jack was murdered. Meanwhile, Detective Cormac Reilly, who was recently transferred to Galway from his squad in Dublin, is assigned to dig into a cold case from twenty years ago--the seeming overdose of Jack and Maude's drug and alcohol addled mother. Other detectives are connecting Jack's death to his mother's, and pushing Reilly to arrest Maude, and fast. But instinct tells him something isn't quite what it seems... This unsettling small-town noir draws us deep into the dark heart of Ireland, where corruption, desperation, and crime run rife. A gritty look at trust and betrayal where the written law isn't the only one, The Ruin asks who will protect you when the authorities can't--or won't., "Compelling, unexpected twists and a hold-your breath standoff . . .
