Review by book blogger Mairead O Driscoll Hearne:

This is how I love my crime fiction. So authentic. EXACTLY Nothing far-fetched. If you loved Lisa McInerney’s The Glorious Heresies and The Blood Miracles, Whatever It Takes is the book for you. Exploring the underbelly of Cork, Tadhg Coakley paints a very realistic image of the drugs, the violence and the trafficking that is present in almost every city. Hidden away from most of us, this dark world is a frightening and shocking place. A local drug-lord and a maverick policeman make for an action-packed and heart- thumping read to the finish. Great sense of place Our PCs are available now for use throughout. This is a book that deserves a very wide audience well beyond the borders of The Rebel County. The but for a time of 20 minutes per tenacious Detective Garda Collins has been justifiably session. Staff are unable to offer compared to Ian Rankin’s Inspector Rebus series and Michael assistance unless very necessary. Connelly’s Detective Harry Bosch series, and for good We would also ask users to reason. If you are looking for a thrilling and fast-paced crime- please have correct change for read, look no further than Whatever It Takes. I highly any printing carried out recommend and am certainly looking forward to the second book in this very impressive and highly enjoyable series. Gritty. Atmospheric. Authentic.
