A bestselling Cork author just got a shout out on a major US true crime podcast
It’s a chilling tale.
A book written by Cork author Catherine Ryan Howard just got a shout-out on a major US true crime podcast.
Terrifying read The Nothing Man was noted in the latest episode of the hit show My Favourite Murder (episode 443 ‘All the Brave Podcasters‘) by host Georgia Hardstark, who told co-host Karen Kilgariff and their millions of listeners that she couldn’t put it down, describing the book as “creepy and so good”.
“I’m mad that I’m almost done with it,” she added.
The fictional story follows Eve Black who, at the age of 12, was the only member of her family to survive an encounter with serial attacker the Nothing Man. Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life.
Meanwhile, supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man–the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her family’s killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jim’s not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man.
My Favourite Murder is part of the Exactly Right network, which boasts millions of listeners across the globe, many of whom are likely to be scrambling to nab a copy or listen to the audio book this week.
The Nothing Man was a number one Irish Times bestseller and was shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of the Year, with one reader describing it as a “mind-blowing, captivating, truly surprising, soul-crushing ride.” Ryan Howard’s latest novel, Burn After Reading, is coming soon, set to be released in March 2025.
You can order a copy of The Nothing Man (€12.50) here or request it in your local library.
