A gripping, unputdownable thriller from the No.1 bestselling author of NO ONE SAW A THING. Andrea Mara turns ordinary fears into extraordinary thrillers, and this is her best book yet.

Get ready for your new obsession - the unputdownable No.1 bestselling thriller

Your neighbours have secrets. How far would they go to keep them?

Look what you started. 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. 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...

Reviews for It Should Have Been You

Wow, It Should Have Been You blew me away. Ingenious plotting, brilliantly written, pacy and totally unpredictable, I devoured it over a weekend. This is Andrea Mara’s best book yet. Absolutely outstanding! * Claire Douglas * Cleverly plotted and told from various points of view, It Should Have Been You shows how one mistake can have life-threatening consequences. Punchy writing, strong characterisation and short chapters propel it to a dramatic, satisfying finale. Highly recommended. * Sunday Independent * 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. Andrea is blessed with a gift for knowing our darkest fears and playing on them like a virtuoso violinist, and I am here for it. * Liz Nugent * 'Plays expertly into one of our worst fears. The convincing storyline maintains real dread in a world of everyday domestic detail. Very enjoyable.' * Daily Mail * A runaway plot that gallops along at breakneck speed to its breathtaking conclusion…Mara excels at taking ordinary suburban fears and turning them into heart-stopping thrillers. The twists are ingenious and addictive. * Edel Coffey, Gloss * Andrea has a knack of taking our every day anxieties and turning them into full blown nightmares. She is one of the best psychological thriller writers out there, subtly weaving darkly absorbing stories with relatable characters who leap off the page. * John Marrs * Andrea Mara’s It Should Have Been You is an up-all-night thriller that makes us consider the consequences of one small mistake. Compulsive, twisty, and utterly -page-turning. I devoured it. * Lucy Clarke * It Should Have been You left me breathless. Andrea Mara deftly reveals each character’s dark, deadly secret with her usual skill. * Jane Corry * (A) well-paced and exciting page-turner. * Irish Independent * The queen of the neighbourhood thriller, Mara's multi layered, utterly believable characters grab you from the first page - she gets right under their skin to reveal the darkness and intrigue of ordinary lives as they unravel. Riveting, twisty and revealing, I couldn't put it down. * Sam Blake *
