Audible selected Falling Glass as a Best Mystery or Thriller of 2011.

It is very good.

But the highlight for me is the reader Gerard Doyle. Irish accents are easy on the ears.

And McKinty is one of my favourite authors these days.

Richard Coulter is a man who has everything. …

But then, for some reason, his ex-wife Rachel doesn’t keep her side of the custody agreement and vanishes off the face of the earth with Richard’s two daughters.

Richard hires Killian, a formidable ex-enforcer for the IRA, to track her down before Rachel, a recovering drug addict, harms herself or the girls.

As Killian follows Rachel’s trail, he begins to see that there is a lot more to this case than first meets the eye and that a 30-year-old secret is going to put all of them in terrible danger.
