Review: 

“’Did you ask for any references for Maya or a bank statement or anything?’ Mary asked.


Niamh blinked. ‘No’, she said. ‘Do people do that in Dublin? I suppose the fact that Maya was introduced through a friend of a friend meant that I just took everything on trust.’” 

This was a short story that reminded me a lot of the movie Single White Female. I'm not familiar with the Cormac Reilly series but I liked McTiernan's writing. This was a little too short to sink my teeth into but I liked it.
