Sinead Crowley published her first novel in 2014 while working full-time as a journalist for RTÉ, Ireland’s national broadcaster. The DS Claire Boyle series is set in Dublin and draws on the social and institutional texture of Irish public life that Crowley covers in her day job.
Claire Boyle is a detective who is also, across the series, a new mother navigating the expectations placed on women in demanding careers. That thread runs through the books without taking over from the crime plots, which deal with disappearances, online communities, and the particular pressures of Irish society.
The series has four books published between 2014 and 2022, building a consistent picture of Dublin as a city with a distinct culture of its own rather than a generic European crime backdrop.
