In August, our team read What Happened to Nina by Dervla McTiernan — a psychological suspense novel about two families pitted against each other after a young woman goes missing during a weekend getaway. Full of twists and turns, it's the kind of book that keeps you guessing right to the end.

What We Thought
"Could not put this down. Fast, easy read but so tense the whole time — genuinely on the edge of my seat. The ending is such a wild twist, and even though it wraps it up fast, it still felt satisfying. Loved it." — Justine
"This is actually my second time reading this book, and it was just as gripping the second time around even when I already knew exactly what was coming. Excellent pacing, incredibly authentic characters, and an ending that doesn't give you complete closure, but importantly, doesn't feel like it needs to." — Bonnie
"I genuinely could not put this book down! The author did such an incredible job of making you feel every emotion the characters were experiencing. It was such a great book and I would highly recommend it. However, I was disappointed by the ending. I just don't feel like it did the rest of the book justice as the rest of the book was so good and this felt like a let down." — Lucy
Seems like this one delivered on tension right through to the last page — with a bit of a split verdict on the ending. A fitting send-off for our final in-house read!
