Twenty-two-year-old Niamh Turley wakes up early one morning to a knock on her door. When she opens the door, she finds Detective Inspector Cormac Reilly. He is asking questions about her roommate, Maya. Niamh doesn't know her roommate well. She is very distant and locks her bedroom door each time she leaves the flat. Niamh thought Maya was still sleeping; but D.I. Reilly tells her that she was murdered.
Days go by and there has been no arrest. Niamh notices people are staring at her. Some are talking behind her back. After talking to the Garda, Niamh believes she is their number one suspect.
This novella is a short prequel to the Cormac Reilly series. As the detective on the case, Cormac is actually a minor character in this book. The story is told from Niamh's point-of-view. It was enjoyable, but I thought the identity of the killer was obvious. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Aoife McMahon. I love her voice. She is the perfect narrator for this series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
