About this listen

Some lines should never be crossed.

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.

I had been waiting for the 3rd in this series and it did not disappoint! Wonderful writing and superb character development. I enjoy Dervla’s books and will continue to look for them. And I always enjoy Aoife McMahon’s narration. Wonderful. I’ll be listening again.

Great twists and turns!

This is the 3rd of Dervla McTiernan's books I have had the great pleasure to read! After reading The Sisters, The Ruin and the Scholar, I was hungry for the next book!. The Good Turn did not disappoint! I was hooked from the beginning! Happily, I just discovered there is another book called The Roommate, it is not on Audible sadly, but I will search it out and read it. I hope there are many more books yet to come!

Another great one by Dervla McTiernan!

This is the third and best story yet by this author. Excellent storytelling. Thank you!

Oh wow, I enjoyed this.

I have enjoyed the prequel and the first two novels very much. I enjoyed this one, too, but admit to feeling impatient several times with so many different things going on. I won’t spoil the story by giving any details and I was glad I held out to the end. It was worth it.

A lot going on

Terrific story arcs within the greater arc (which was also great). Enjoyed completely. Narrator augmented the experience.

Near perfect

I love Dervla’s writing and I’m a huge fan. She puts things together very nicely. You can’t figure out anything until the end and it’s not some built up fight in the end with a dramatic finale. Her writing is well done with loose ends (appropriate loose ends) and no perfect endings. She puts just the right amount of intrigue and suspense. I can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks,
Marjorie
