Dervla McTiernan & 'The Murder Rule': Complicated Conversations Series
On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we chat with internationally bestselling author Dervla McTiernan about her new novel, The Murder Rule. ** After perfectly nailing her elevator pitch, Dervla talks about how writing Hannah, her protagonist, was a bit of wish fulfillment. (02:24) ** The Murder Rule reminds us of Karin Slaughter’s bestseller, Pieces of Her, which is a massive compliment. Dervla discusses why she wanted to structure the book between past and present and mother and daughter. (05:09) ** Like Carinn and Kate, Dervla is a lawyer. We loved hearing about her complicated relationship with being a lawyer. Let’s just say we could relate! (10:20) ** Dervla shares the remarkable and harrowing personal experience that coincided with her finding a literary agent and launching her career as an author. (18:13) ** Though she is so grateful for her journey, Dervla admits she still wants more and we happily help her plot world domination! (25:35) ** We discuss astrology and the Libra’s scales of justice seem pretty appropriate for her. (28:00) ** Dervla shares the real life inspiration for this novel. (31:13) ** Dervla tells us what she is loving right now. (35:00) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
