Get ready for your new obsession - it will make you question everything. Pre-order the gripping new thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Andrea Mara.

Everyone has secrets. Even your daughter…

The morning after a glamorous, luxury wedding, you and your best friend go to wake your twenty-four-year-old daughters. You open the door to their shared room in the pool-house and find a lamp smashed on the floor, a blood stain on the carpet, a ringing phone – and both girls are nowhere to be seen.

The police come and you discover something shocking. Something inexplicable. Is one of your daughters trying to kill the other? And that’s when you and your best friend begin to unravel what's really going on between the girls.

You need to work together to find your daughters, testing your friendship to its limits. And you can’t help but wonder: which girl is the killer and which is the victim?

Critic reviews

Impossible to put down – a fast paced thriller with twists and turns around every corner.
'I honestly inhaled this, couldn’t wait to get back to it. I think it’s Andrea’s best book yet. The twists just kept coming. An unguessable and most thrilling thriller in the plushest surroundings of south county Dublin. I bloody loved it.'
Riveting…twisty and so full of secrets that you’ll be dying to discover the truth!
'Warning: Don’t start Such a Nice Girl if you have anything urgent to do… This dark mystery about two mothers and two daughters is pitch perfect, with great characters, a deviously twisting plot and a pace that breaks the speed limit. An all-round stunning thriller from the queen of the tangled web. Such a fabulous read!'
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.
What a fantastic novel. A masterclass in twists and turns. It’ll leave your head spinning. Mara remains at the top of her game and I’m here for it.
Andrea Mara is one of a kind, writing with a vice-like grip and plots perfectly designed to speak to our deepest, darkest fears and get under our skin. Clear your calendar: once you start reading Such a Nice Girl, you won't be able to stop.
'I absolutely loved every second of reading this - a complete pleasure from start to finish. Andrea Mara is a genius storyteller. In Such a Nice Girl she puts you right at the heart of a catastrophic situation and turns up the tension until you feel as invested as if the characters' problems were your own. Fast-paced, compelling, twisty and utterly absorbing, this novel will delight her legions of fans.'
Another winner from the queen of cliffhangers. With it's short, snappy chapters, beguiling mystery and cast of fascinating characters, Such A Nice Girl is a thrill ride of a read that kept me guessing. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Andrea Mara goes from strength to strength.
Such a Nice Girl is a masterful delve into human connections, friendship and familial, while delivering an unputdownable, intricately plotted, edge of your seat, twisty thriller. Gripping and oh so satisfying.
