It is an unforgettable and deeply moving read that takes the concept of how far would you go for your child and turns the volume up so high the dial breaks. Dervla McTiernan is a wickedly gifted writer and she brings a documentary realism to every page of this unforgettable and scary in a good way novel. You will tell your friends about What Happened to Nina. You will tell everybody about What Happened To Nina." -- Don Winslow, #1 Internationally bestselling author of The Cartel and City on Fire "What Happened To Nina is a stunning masterpiece. Haunting, emotional, fiercely intelligent and absolutely diabolical. I was amazed as a reader and in awe as a writer. I read the book in one long sitting, late into the night, and I kept all the lights on because I was so scared about what was going to happen every time I turned the page. I never felt like I was reading a novel. I felt like I was living inside this story and it was all really happening. Its a thriller that reads like a true crime novel." -- T.J. Newman, #1 bestselling author of Falling and Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421"Her best yet. Completely riveting ... I had at least three gasp-out-loud moments. And that ending! Everyones going to be talking about that ending." -- Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law and Darling Girls on What Happened to Nina?"What Happened to Nina? is a propulsive and satisfying mystery that tackles head-on themes of wealth, power, domestic violence, and the stories we tell ourselves to justify our worst actions. This is Dervla McTiernan at her finest." -- Tracey Lien, internationally bestselling author of All Thats Left Unsaid"McTiernan turns the traditional thriller on its head by exploring the why and the what over the who....And that is truly haunting." -- Kirkus on What Happened to Nina? (starred review)"Almost painfully gripping.... Despite its title, the central question posed by this disturbing, enthralling book is less concerned with what happened to Nina (youll find out soon enough), but how the parents -- all broken, terrified and desperate in their own ways -- respond to the exigencies of the moment. The last scene will make your blood run cold." -- New York Times Book Review on What Happened to Nina?"Almost painfully gripping. Disturbing, enthralling.... The last scene will make your blood run cold." -- The New York Times on What Happened to Nina?"A smart and unpredictable portrait of how the boundaries between tragedy and entertainment get blurred. Its a disturbing treat for thriller fans." -- Publishers Weekly on What Happened to Nina?"What Happened to Nina? is the latest mesmerizing mystery from the mind of author Dervla McTiernan (The Good Turn). McTiernans incisive examination of the internet and the true crime phenomena add layers of brilliance. McTiernan delivers a story with real-life similarities and packs it with compelling characters and a rewarding payoff." -- Manhattan Book Review"Buckle up: This psychological page-turner is no ordinary whodunit. When beloved daughter Nina goes missing, her boyfriend Simon becomes the prime suspect. But did he do it? No matter, because McTiernans focus is on a deeper, more shocking tragedy, pitting Ninas grieving folks--frantic to find Nina and attain justice--against Simons privileged parents, desperate to protect their son no matter what. A tense read with a stunning ending." -- People on What Happened to Nina?"McTiernan brings real craft to her characters." -- The Irish Times on What Happened to Nina?"A chilling tale of how far people will go to protect a predator." -- The Sunday Times on What Happened to Nina?"Addictive. Propulsive. Less page-turning than page-devouring. The story builds like a nuclear mushroom cloud. Dervla McTiernan is a thriller master." -- Trent Dalton, bestselling author of Boy Swallows Universe on What Happened to Nina?"Had me tearing through the pages, even after the "who" of the mystery had been revealed. A great read for fans of Hayley Scrivenors Dirt Town and Emily Ruskovichs Idaho." -- Books + Publishing on What Happened to Nina?"McTiernan has crafted an engrossing and shocking story inspired by tragically familiar events. . . . Fans of true crime and stories with multiple narrators will find much to enjoy in this mystery and will have a tough time putting it down." -- Booklist on What Happened to Nina?"Sinuous and immaculately paced, there is a ferocious sting in the tale." -- The Daily Mail on What Happened to Nina?"Matters culminate in a courtroom fireworks display worthy of Perry Mason in his prime. The Murder Rule holds ones interest from its cheeky opening pages through its final scene." -- Wall Street Journal on The Murder Rule"Excellent... McTiernan [is] an uncommonly fine mystery writer.... What a thrilling book this is." -- New York Times Book Review on The Murder Rule"Gripping and full of tension, with twist after unexpected twist. You wont just read The Murder Rule, youll devour it." -- Karin Slaughter"Dervla McTiernan has become one of my favorite writers, and if you read The Murder Rule, she will quickly become one of yours.

This is a heart-stopping roller coaster of a tale." -- Adrian McKinty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chain on The Murder Rule"The Ruin is dark and compelling, with the satisfaction of a police procedural and the atmosphere of a gothic mystery. I was gripped by it, and by the complicated, resourceful characters of Aisling and Maude." -- Flynn Berry, author of Under the Harrow on The Ruin"Powerful . . . McTiernan neatly ties [the threads of the novel] all together in the suspenseful conclusion. McTiernan, born in Ireland but now living in Australia, is a writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Ruin"Compelling, unexpected twists and a hold-your breath standoff . . .
