Engaging Irish mystery.

I enjoyed this engaging novel, but only gave it 3 stars because it was much shorter (a novello) than the other Cormac Reilly detective stories which have more detailed plots.

Great little listen

Reviewed in Australia on 24 January 2021

The Roommate is a novella only available on Audible at the moment. That’s a shame for those who don’t use the platform because it’s a great little read (listen?).

Niamh wakes up one morning to find that there has been a murder in her apartment complex. When the police come knocking, she realises she might just know more about the victim and the killer than she thought.

For its short size, McTiernan manages to include a lot plot-wise. I would have still preferred if the book had been full length novel to allow the inclusion of additional tension. Some scenes also were far too rushed, especially the climax and the ending. (I thought the climactic scene was a great idea but it should have been drawn out a lot more than it was.)

A full length novel would have also given us more chance to read about Cormac Reilly, the lead of McTiernan’s series of books. Although this is advertised as a prequel featuring Reilly, he appears briefly and the story is told completely from Niamh’s point of view instead.

Aoife MacMahon’s narration is a bonus though. It’s the accent. She doesn’t really need to do too much to win me over. LOL

All in all, this is a great read for a short format book. If you do get the chance to listen (or read if it’s ever released in a different format), do so.

Narrator and writer are a winning combination

Reviewed in Australia on 18 July 2020

This novella is the prequel to McTiernan's first novel, "The Ruin", and introduces one of my favorite detectives, Cormac Reilly.

At less than 3 hours of listening it is less engrossing and complex than McTiernan's novels, but pleasant listening to while away a wet afternoon or a long drive. Aoife McMahon's soft Irish accent combined with McTiernan's light touch (even when it comes to murder) are a winning combination.

If you have not read/listened to any of McTiernan's novels before, this is a great introduction.
