Somebody Knows

A smart, multi-layered mystery wrapped up in a poignant story of family betrayals and societal failures. Another sure-fire winner for Michelle McDonagh. An absolute triumph. - Andrea Mara

This book was marvellously hooky and hard to put down. In a bold move, Cara isn't altogether a likeable character but when she finds out that her birth mother was murdered, she immediately wins our compassion. When she finds her welcoming birth family, skeletons literally start to fall out of the closet.

Entertaining, compelling and intriguing. Bravo! - Liz Nugent

A quintessentially Irish story of secrets, lies, shame and protecting reputations - Irish Times The Gloss
