As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Publisher's Summary
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.

BLOODY BRILLIANT
This is one of the few book series I would recommend without reservation. I have worked my way through the series and they only improve as you go on. If you like police procedurals/mysteries set in Ireland and fine story telling , then this is the author for you. Plus, the narrator does a grand job. Definitely will be re-listening to them again. You should start at the beginning of the series since there is a ongoing storyline but, I think personally, you will not be disappointed. Can't wait for the next one in the series.

Last Cormac tale?
Enjoyable story but I think the Cormac cycle will probably come to an end here. The second narrative around officer Peter Fletcher was more interesting and The Good Turn is more his story than Cormac’s. Overall a well written book with an intricate plot with a bit too much reliance on coincidence to close out the story.

Decent but predictable
I enjoyed this book, but didn't think it was as good as McTiernan's other 2 books that I've listened to. The ending was too easy to guess on all counts and was set up far to early in the story.
McMahon does a great job, except for the mercifully short part of the young girl near the end.

A Hat Trick by McTiernan!
With “The Good Turn”, Dervla McTiernan writes the third and most ambitious book in the Cormac Reilly series, and what a Tour de Force! She has no doubt established herself as a must read mystery author.

Big fan of this author
I enjoyed this story very much. It is told so well that I couldn’t stop listening even though I did not want it to end. The story is well drawn and no loose ends. I hope that doesn’t mean there is no book five! II have only one more book to read by this author so I hope a new one is in the works!!

I have loved all of the Cormac Reilly series and this was another good one. I think the narrator may be one of my favourites on audible. I do hope the author will continue writing this story or at least remain in this genre. Love it!!

Terrible sound quality
I listened to the first two books in this series, and love the narrator. but there is a weird sound quality to this recording. It is like they forget to sound proof the room and there is a hollow sound. It is very irritating.
