I was delighted to participate in an event to celebrate National Crime Reading Month in Cork City Libraries with Catherine Kirwan, author of Cruel Deeds and Darkest Truth. We spoke about out favourite crime novels and writers and a great crowd turned up. And here are the six books I chose! But it could have been another six by six other writers just as easily.
Cork City’s One City One Book was launched by Deputy Lord Mayor Cllr Kieran McCarthy in Cork City Library on 14 August. A discussion on the book with myself was led by poet and writer Thomas McCarthy, behind closed doors. Click here to watch the discussion
My second novel, Whatever It Takes was published by the Mercier Press on August 5th, 2020. This is a contemporary crime novel set in Cork city, featuring a Garda detective, Collins, who goes to war against a professional criminal.
Great to see my forthcoming novel Whatever It Takes listed in Books to Watch Out For in 2020 by the Irish Times. 59 books to watch out for in 2020 – all from independent publishers In some heady company, lovely to have the book mentioned at the beginning of 2020.
