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.

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! * Patricia Gibney *
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 *
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 *
Praise for Andrea Mara * : *
Andrea Mara is a star. * Lee Child *
I was hooked from first page to last as the twists got twistier and all of the characters squirmed while waiting for their darkest secrets to be revealed. May I suggest a new Irish blessing? May you never live in a neighbourhood created by Andrea Mara. * Liz Nugent *
Ingenious plotting, brilliantly written, pacy and totally unpredictable, I devoured it over a weekend...Absolutely outstanding! * Claire Douglas *
