There is a host of phenomenal thriller and crime writers on this little island, and Andrea Mara has to be one of the best.
Readers have been raving about her latest release, It Should Have Been You, and you need to pick it up if you're looking for a new read.
Mara never fails to write gripping novels that readers won't be able to put down.
A true pro at her craft, the author has penned yet another hit novel, which will undoubtedly soar through the charts.
It Should Have Been You is an addictive read that you'll be glued to from the very first page.
The book synopsis reads:
'Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person? You text your sister. Your message is full of gossip about your neighbour. But you accidentally send it to the entire local community WhatsApp group instead. Now everyone knows what you did.
'As rumour spreads like wildfire through the picture-perfect neighbourhood, you convince yourself that people will move on, that this will quickly be forgotten. But then you receive the first death threat. And someone wants you dead.
'The next day, a woman has been murdered. And what's even more chilling is that she had the same address as you - 26 Oakpark - but in a different part of town. Did the killer get the wrong house? It won't be long before you find out.'
It Should Have Been You is out now.
