Liz Moore, author of Long Bright River.
A strong year for Irish crime fiction opened with Nicola White’s
A Famished Heart (Viper), in which religious martyrdom provides the motive for a suspicious death. Malachi O’Doherty’s debut
Terry Brankin Has a Gun (Merrion Press) was an impressive addition to the post-Troubles canon of crime writing while Arlene Hunt’s
No Escape (Hachette Ireland) delivered a pulsating thriller set in gangland Dublin.
