Amanda Cassidy

With masterful world building and stunning prose, Amanda Cassidy has given us an incredibly atmospheric setting with a heady mix of glamorous characters, a glossy surface and a deliciously dark underbelly. I loved it!

It is wildly entertaining and well written with a cast of unreliable characters, as we realise that nobody is who they seem to be. Like an Irish Liane Moriarty, Cassidy’s plot keeps twisting to almost unbearable tension. Suburban middle class Dublin was never so dangerous, and that is aside from the ravenous wolves who suddenly appear on Killiney Hill.

Fans of Big Little Lies will devour this propulsive mystery thick with privilege, secrets, and betrayal. Three mothers and a sister – each connected to the disappearance of a teenage girl – struggle to manage the aftermath of grief, fear, and the desperate need to protect those they love, all while haunted by the sense of danger that lurks in the woods surrounding their idyllic suburban enclave in Dublin. Amanda Cassidy is the real deal – a must-read for anyone who craves dark, intelligent domestic suspense layered with emotional depth.

FIVE WENT INTO THE WOODS THAT NIGHT, BUT ONLY FOUR CAME OUT. . . 
 
‘Masterful world building and stunning prose. I loved it!’ Andrea Mara 
 
Killiney is South County Dublin’s most coveted postcode. 
Home to cliff-top views, perfect lawns…and secrets buried deep. 
 
On the night of a full moon, five teenagers go into the woods for a game of dares. Saskia Foley – bright, magnetic and unforgettable – doesn’t come back. 
 
Now three women must navigate their worst fears and darkest instincts to protect their children who were with Saskia the night she vanished. 
 
Saskia’s mother thinks she could have been taken by a wolf. Which is surely impossible. 
 
Because in Killiney, the predators don’t have claws. 
They have keys to perfect homes. 
And everything to lose.
