Dervla McTiernan

Irish
Dervla McTiernan is an Irish-Australian crime novelist. She writes the Cormac Reilly series, standalone crime novels and audio novellas, moving between a continuing detective and self-contained stories. The longer books sit beside shorter audio fiction, so her list has more than one shape rather than a single repeated pattern. The audio work is shorter than the novels. Her books have sold more than one million copies around the world.
Her novels include The Murder Rule, What Happened to Nina? and Three Reasons for Revenge. The standalones sit alongside the Cormac Reilly books rather than inside that series, while the audio novellas are separate again from the full-length novels. What Happened to Nina? and The Murder Rule are both currently in development for screen adaptation.
