Story
The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Publisher's Summary
It's been 20 years since Cormac Reilly discovered the body of Hilaria Blake in her crumbling Georgian home. But he's never forgotten the two children she left behind....
When Aisling Conroy's boyfriend Jack is found in the freezing black waters of the river Corrib, the police tell her it was suicide. A surgical resident, she throws herself into study and work, trying to forget - until Jack's sister Maude shows up. Maude suspects foul play, and she is determined to prove it.
Cormac Reilly is the detective assigned with the re-investigation of a seemingly accidental overdose 20 years ago - the overdose of Jack and Maude's drug-and-alcohol-addled mother. Detective Reilly is under increasing pressure to charge Maude for murder when his colleague Danny uncovers a piece of evidence that will change everything....
This unsettling small-town noir draws us deep into the dark heart of Ireland, where corruption, desperation, and crime run rife. A gritty look at trust and betrayal where the written law isn't the only one, The Ruin asks who will protect you when the authorities can't - or won't.
Critic Reviews
"Narrator Aoife McMahon delivers Cormac's low-key, hard-working style of detective work in an easy-listening manner in this multilayered police procedural.... This debut novel has a compelling storyline deepened by McMahon's Irish-accented voice, perfect pacing, and riveting attention to details. Building tension seems to come naturally to McMahon; his precise pauses add to the emotional impact. McTiernan's well-written story and McMahon's top-notch narration make this a compelling listen."

Dreary goodness
So I'll start by saying that I loved the story. The writing is great, the narrator is fantastic. It will absolutely keep your attention the entire time. However, I couldn't wait for it to be over. It is so sad and so bleak, that it really took a toll on me. I mean that in a good way. That's obviously what the writer was going for but whew... I need a pallet cleanser after that.

Book of the Year
Would not surprise me at all if this becomes the book of the year. I have not enjoyed a book this much since Tana French wrote her series. This book has several subplots, each as interesting and keeping you wondering what is next. I hope is that she continues with a series. Loved it and will be listening to it again

Exceptional Debut
The only reason I didn't give this five stars was that I got confused with all the characters. couldn't keep them strait. I had to go back and listen to the first half again before I could keep going. I listen to a lot of books. I have been on audible for ten years. Most books are somewhat similar when listening to mysteries, police procedures etc. after the HUNDREDS that I have read this one kept my attention and wanted me to keep on listening. There is no exploitive violence, sex, drama, but the story is compelling nonetheless. I enjoyed it. Don't get put off by the language, that is the way they talk in Ireland. Accept their culture and enjoy.

The child abuse angle was just too much
I really wanted to love this book but the child abuse angle was just too vivid, too much. I’ll give McTiernan another shot because the book is well written, I just couldn’t deal with the subject matter. Narrator was great.

Marvelous!
The Cormac Reilly Series started with two prequel novellas titled The Sisters and The Roommate. THE RUIN is the first novel in the series which is set in Ireland. Cormac Reilly is a cop and the genre is police procedural. The Ruin is a marvelously dark and complex novel which manages to keep suspense at a high level. Irish actress Aoife McMahon does a great job of narration. (Aoife is pronounced e-fa.)

A combo whodunit/soap opera? Good/bad idea?
There are certainly things to enjoy here. Aoife McMahon is definitely a narrator to whom I could listen reading other books. And Dervla McTiernan can write. It's just that there is way too much of almost everything here: so much so that the book gets mighty confusing and the plots/subplots/red herrings become so twisted around that by a certain point I lost track of what was up and what was down. I felt kinda like Alice, falling down the rabbit hole. Down, down, down! The soap opera and the whodunit vie for dominance throughout, and IMHO this is not a healthy competition for an author to set up. I couldn't begin to tell you all of the characters and all of the plots. Just too much. Even the basic story is complicated, spanning over twenty years of people living in or near Galway, on the west coast of Ireland (a perfectly wonderful place to visit, BTW: go there soon). There are drug deaths, murders, long-simmering hatreds, garda (police) departments that just cannot keep up with the chaos that is happening on the streets of their communities. I know that I sometimes complain about the lack of humor in novels. Rightly or wrongly, I feel that a little bit of humor truly helps break the tension that is being generated by the plot(s), and it also serves to make the characters feel more like fleshed-out people. In ten and a half hours of listening to this book, I found exactly one moment of fun: the crotchety/crazy/psychopathic/demented old lady named Domenica Keen is a true laff riot, as they used to spell it in Vaudeville days. And Aoife does a perfect job with this voice, down to the last inflection. But truly, that is the only moment of fun in the entire book. The rest of it, and there's a lot, is about 100% suffering and pain. Now I know quite a number of Irishfolks, and I have spent three months there over about twelve years. I do know how much they have suffered, from a variety of misfortunes so severe that a weaker nation would collapse into an ocean of its own tears. Nonetheless, the brands of suffering here are so extensive that almost any character could burst into a flood of tears at any moment. Child abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, horrible poverty, disease, death, the fear of going to Hell...I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about all of it, and I am merely scratching the surface. A moment to breathe, please? A bit of comic relief? See what I mean? Too much misery. Almost like reading Dickens, although certainly not that far down the line.
So, as usual, you must make up your own minds about this book. I think I have been fair about the positives and the negatives, insofar as that is possible. For myself, when Aoife McMahon narrates another audiobook, I will look very closely at it, hoping that her serious talents might be well-employed again. And as for Ms. McTiernan, perhaps not so much.

Not Quite There
The author has the right idea but needs seasoning. I thought she started too many threads. Every few chapters, new people with new backstories. The ending is strung out over several chapters with the effort to tie up so many threads. I like complexity but this lacked focus. It's her first novel and I see she's being compared to Tana French - not even close, though she shows promise.

First time listening to Irish style novel
I wasn't sure why this book was in my library nor when I purchased it, but it's a pleasant surprise from an experience perspective. The story is as expected from this genre, which I don't listen to often. I read a lot non-fiction and sci-fi genre. Ms. McMahon's writing is rather interesting, there a female touch to it with a bit of Irish "accent" in there. It shows observant details in situations.
From an outsider perspective (consider me total novice in this genre), I think the story is believable but not very interesting... it reveals a society's dark side that is a constant sore which will never end. There is no hero that will save the day, no miracle. Love has no passion but real. Evil is ingrained. Overall, I don't get any more insights besides enjoying this little piece of writing, but that might be enough
