Edel Coffey recommends

It Should Have Been You (2025)
Andrea Mara
"What a phenomenal book. I loved every single second of it. It is terrifyingly plausible, utterly gripping, and brilliantly executed. There's a new queen of crime in town...and her name is Andrea Mara."

Breakdown (2023)
Cathy Sweeney
"I loved this. It skewers mid-life motherhood malaise. A Falling Down for suburban housewives. A gripping study of middle-aged womanhood and shelved dreams. Subversive, darkly funny, tragic and illuminating all at once."

Someone You Trust (2023)
Rachel Ryan
"A gripping, contemporary gothic thriller. I tore through it. I simply couldn't put it down!"
