A Little More Self Promotion: Two More For Your Listening Pleasure


Amazon’s Audible reached an agreement with my publisher, Severn House, to release my most recent books for audiophiles.  Bless both of them. You can find the complete audio list of my books here. Meanwhile, here are descriptions of the two most recently recorded.
Bullet Beach — Seventy-one-year-old Indianapolis private investigator, Deets Shanahan, takes on the search of a lifetime. With only a snippet of news found on the Internet, he learns his brother — who disappeared when they were kids — could be somewhere in Thailand. Eager to tie up the loose ends of his life, Shanahan and lover, Maureen, embark on a journey to find the errant sibling. But this is more than a story of a missing person who wants to stay missing. Treasure, deceit and murder are at play on the streets of Bangkok and on the beaches of Phuket. Narrated by Ric Jerrom
“Tierney is as entertaining as ever. In particular, thumbs up for the nice, understated septuagenarian love story.”Kirkus Reviews
“Tierney... adds spice to the story with eccentric characters, wry humor, and a spare but compelling writing style. Engaging and entertaining.”Booklist
Death in North Beach — Sweet William, a handsome, charming and discreet professional companion to the wealthy, needs help. A famous, but not beloved, novelist is found dead. William is the prime suspect. His only salvation is for the real murderer to be found. He is able to provide a list of suspects — prominent figures connected to San Francisco's legendary North Beach — whose secrets may be revealed in the victim's soon-to-be published tell-all.  Private investigator Carly Paladino agrees to take William on as a client. But the question remained: Was the devilish gigolo telling the truth or did she fall under his spell?
Whatever the case, Carly and her streetwise and skeptical partner, Noah Lang, stir up serious trouble when they try to find the manuscript — and the murderer. Much like North Beach itself, the suspects are trying to preserve the image they want the world to see.  Light-hearted with an end that pays homage to mysteries of an earlier era.  Narrated by Katherine Fenton.
‘This is a witty, very engaging entry in what promises to be a thoroughly entertaining new series.” Booklist
“The interplay between Carly and Noah is delightful – talk about opposites!” — George Easter, Deadly Pleasures
“Good, dirty fun – with a delightful icing of San Francisco details.”The Rap Sheet

“The Carly Paladino and Noah Lang Mysteries have “the makings of a superior series. Tierney, author of the Deets Shanahan series, has a winner here.”Library Journal

Blatant Self Promo — My Latest Books Made Available For your Ears


Five of my most recent books are going audio, including the stand-alone thriller Good to the Last Kiss.  UK publisher Severn House has reached an agreement with Amazon’s Audible Books for two mysteries in the Indianapolis-based Deets Shanahan series and the first two books in the Paladino and Lang series, set in San Francisco.

The first to be released by Audible is Good to the last Kiss — San Francisco Inspector Vincent Gratelli is charged with finding the killer of young women – all murdered in the same way, all left with the with a mysterious mark. The most recent victim is beaten and raped in her weekend cabin. There appears to be only one difference – she is still alive. There are two questions. How can these murders be stopped and how does the killer feel about unfinished business? Available February, 11, 2014. Available now in hardback and e-book
“Tierney serves up a dark, twisty little gem…. Every year the genre has its Goliaths, bigger and better ballyhooed than this modest entry. Come Edgar time, however, Tierney’s well-written, tidily plotted, character-driven David of a book deserves to be remembered.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
