Bestselling author Dervla McTiernan joined me to discuss her latest Cormac Reilly novel, 'The Unquiet Grave'.
We talked about:
- Origins of ‘The Unquiet Grave’ and bog bodies!
- Returning to writing Cormac Reilly. Is it harder to write with an entirely new protagonist, or a recurring one beloved by fans?
- The different examples of familial obligations found throughout the novel.
- How is it that we always see the best, or best version in those close to us, even when there’s mounting evidence contradicting that?
- And so much more!
Thanks muchly to Dervla for chatting with me on the show, be sure to get your copy of ‘The Unquiet Grave’ now!
