Such a Nice Girl is, in my opinion a 'Wow' book - another surefire bestseller for Andrea. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. So many twists and turns! I had no idea who was telling the truth or who was spinning lies. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride while reading it. Andrea is brilliant at plotting. A fantastic premise, executed flawlessly. I can see it as a movie!

An incredibly addictive, expertly plotted page-turner full of surprises. Every time I thought I’d worked it out, the story twisted again right up to its chilling conclusion. Bravo Andrea Mara, I am sure this is going to fly off the shelves.

Nikki Smith

Mothers. Daughters. Killers. Victims. The combinations are deadly in Andrea Mara's clever, clever new thriller, a novel that pits its characters against one another with real invention, real force. It's genuinely involving, too, as an exploration of friendship and parenthood. This is a good one.

A. J. Finn

Impossible to put down – a fast paced thriller with twists and turns around every corner.

Patricia Cornwell

Such A Nice Girl is a very fine addition to Andrea Mara's ongoing excavation of contemporary parental anxieties. The kids are older in this one, but the stakes couldn't be higher. Privilege is fragile, complacency is punished, and what starts as a tiny crack in a perfect facade widens inexorably to a chasm. In Such A Nice Girl, the pages turn themselves, and Andrea Mara gets better and better.

Catherine Kirwan

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.

Jack Jordan

'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!'

Janice Hallett

'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.'

Jane Casey

'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.'

Liz Nugent

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.

Edel Coffey

A terrifically tense and twisty thriller. Andrea Mara has delivered another unputdownable read. I loved it.
