Publisher's summary

Sarah Stewart Taylor is known for her atmospheric portrayal of an American detective in Ireland, and her critically acclaimed series returns with A Stolen Child.

After months of training, former Long Island homicide detective Maggie D'arcy is now officially a Garda. She's finally settling into life in Ireland, and so is her teenage daughter, Lilly. Maggie may not be a detective yet, but she's happy with her community policing assignment in Dublin's Portobello neighborhood.

When she and her partner find former model and reality TV star Jade Elliot murdered—days after responding to a possible domestic violence disturbance at her apartment—they also discover Jade's toddler daughter missing. Shorthanded thanks to an investigation into a gangland murder in the neighborhood, Maggie's friend, Detective Inspector Roly Byrne, brings her onto his team to help find the missing child. But when a key discovery is made, the case only becomes more confusing—and more dangerous. Amidst a nationwide manhunt, Maggie and her colleagues must look deep into Jade's life—both personal and professional—to find a ruthless killer.

Not Your Average Police Procedural

After months of training, former Long Island homicide detective Maggie D’arcy is now officially a Garda. She’s finally settling into life in Ireland and so is her teenage daughter, Lilly. Maggie may not be a detective yet, but she’s happy with her community policing assignment in Dublin's Portobello neighborhood.When she and her partner find former model and reality TV star Jade Elliot murdered—days after responding to a possible domestic violence disturbance at her apartment—they also discover Jade's toddler daughter missing. Shorthanded thanks to an investigation into a gangland murder in the neighborhood, Maggie’s friend, Detective Inspector Roly Byrne, brings her onto his team to help find the missing child. But when a key discovery is made, the case only becomes more confusing—and more dangerous. Amidst a nationwide manhunt, Maggie and her colleagues must look deep into Jade’s life—both personal and professional—to find a ruthless killer. Not your average police procedural, this outing in the series is one of the best. I really enjoy the evolution of the characters in this series and can't wait for more of Maggie.

Aoife McMahon was brilliant with the delivery of the story

Wonderful book.

I’ve really enjoyed this entire series, and the fourth book is no exception. Narration was great as well.

Enjoyable Listen

A nice addition to the series, while it totally stands alone as well.
Great narration suited the story well.

Best narrator - usually…

Will listen to anything Aoife McMahon narrates but… I don’t like her American accent. And I don’t really think it’s necessary for her to narrate the whole thing in an American accent, even though the main character is an American of Irish descent.
