Edel Coffey recommends
Such a Nice Girl (2026)
Andrea Mara
"Buckle up, you're in for one hell of a ride with this fiendishly clever, insidiously sinister novel that had me in its grip from page one. Mara is the undisputed queen of the psychological thriller and the queen of the plot twist. Her books should come with a warning - Reader Beware: Once you start, you won't be able to stop. The twists, turns and blindsides are superb. It's got everything. Sit back and enjoy - you are in the hands of a master."
Some of This is True (2025)
Michelle McDonagh
"Michelle McDonagh just gets better and better. Blackly funny and acutely observant, she digs behind the veneer of suburban Irish society to reveal the darkness that can find its way into any ordinary life. An insightful portrayal of Irish communities and the secrets they keep, with characters you will love. I couldn't stop turning the pages. I love how she unpicks families and marriages until nothing is as it seems. Gripping, smart and suspenseful, this is a compelling story that packs a big punch."
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."
