Liz Nugent'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.'
Shari LapenaRiveting…twisty and so full of secrets that you’ll be dying to discover the truth!
Janice Hallett'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!'
Edel CoffeyBuckle 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.
Daily MailMara'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.
John MarrsWhat 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.
Jack JordanAndrea 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.
Jane Casey'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.'
