THE GRIPPING NEW NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHELLE MCDONAGH

As her adoptive mother lays dying, journalist Cara Joyce overhears a shocking piece of information about her origins. It connects her to a tragic death - that of Lucia Casey, a young woman whose body was found buried in a Connemara bog nearly thirty years ago.

To this day, Lucia's disappearance and murder remains unsolved.

Cara's quest to find out the truth reunites her with the powerful Casey family. But as her obsession begins to take over her life, she finds herself increasingly at odds with those around her.

Who is behind Lucia's death and what are they hiding? And what will Cara risk in the present to solve the mysteries of the past?

Somebody Knows is a page-turning story of dangerous secrets and the lengths people will go to keep them.

Critics Review

A quintessentially Irish story of secrets, lies, shame and protecting reputations
Irish Times The Gloss
Somebody Knows, Michelle McDonagh's powerful second novel, is a dramatic exploration of the bonds that tie families together across generations
Sunday Independent
With some very powerful moments, capturing tenderness, drama and trauma, Somebody Knows is a compelling tale, another well-crafted story from this Irish writer who is slowly staking her claim as the 'Queen of Irish Rural Noir'
