Publisher's Summary
A compulsive new crime thriller set in the fiercely competitive, cutthroat world of research and academia, where the brightest minds will stop at nothing to succeed.
When Dr. Emma Sweeney stumbles across the victim of a hit-and-run outside Galway University early one morning, she calls her boyfriend, Detective Cormac Reilly, bringing him first to the scene of a murder that would otherwise never have been assigned to him. The dead girl is carrying an ID that will put this crime at the center of a scandal—her card identifies her as Carline Darcy, heir apparent to Darcy Therapeutics, Ireland's most successful pharmaceutical company. Darcy Therapeutics has a finger in every pie, from sponsoring university research facilities to funding political parties to philanthropy - it has even funded Emma's own groundbreaking research.
As the murder investigation twists in unexpected ways and Cormac's running of the case comes under scrutiny from the department and his colleagues, he is forced to question himself and the beliefs that he has long held as truths. Who really is Emma? And who is Carline Darcy?
A gripping and atmospheric follow-up to The Ruin, an "expertly plotted, complex web of secrets that refuse to stay hidden" (Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King's Daughter), The Scholar is perfect for fans of Tana French and Flynn Berry.

Aoife McMahon is great
I love the solid continuity of Dervla McTiernan's writing. You're never left hanging nor trying to figure out who people are. It is a great book. I am addicted to her story weaving I'll say because telling is just not the correct word. She eases you into trouble and whirls you around and you think you've figured it out only to see yyyyuck didn't think of that. I can't wait to get into her other long novels. her short novellas are smashing too.

Entertaining crime story
Well written, well narrated. Good character development. I did figure out some the plot very early on, though not all of it, so that was a bit of a twist near the end.

Meh
I had average hopes for this book. Wasn't sure how it would unfold.The summary had appeal, and I downloaded it only because it was free. The narration was good. The story was forgettable. The character development was poor. Characters were discarded easily, and storylines were undeveloped. This was a hallmark movie level mystery. The outcome held no great shock, and there was no build-up to the end. A few moments kept me listening to see where it would go, but overall... I expected average, and that is what I got.
