‘The thing is, we always believe the best of our own kids. What mother thinks her own daughter will do something terrible? But every bad deed is carried out by a person who was once someone’s child.’

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?

Everyone is talking about Andrea Mara:

'Impossible to put down'. Chris Whitaker
'Andrea Mara is a star.' Lee Child
'Probably the most suspenseful book I will read all year.' Liz Nugent

Critic reviews

Spine-chilling, with stunning writing that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Andrea Mara never misses and this is no exception.

It’s all ominous chapter endings and artful dialogue that pours across the page like good prosecco.

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.

Mara's handling of the relationship of the mothers under pressure is gripping, as is the central mystery - which girl will turn out to be either a victim , or guilty.

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 loved this audiobook! I’m a massive fan of Andrea Mara and she didn’t disappoint. Really good book, lots of characters to keep you guessing but not too many it got confusing. Little twists and turns along the way. Really enjoyable!
