What to expect

'Gripping . . . I simply couldn't put it down' Edel Coffey, author of Breaking Point


'Kept me guessing with each page I turned' Patricia Gibney, author of The Missing Ones


From the Top Ten Irish Times bestselling author comes a gripping, emotional thriller that explores the darkest corners of family and the secrets we hide behind closed doors.

Amy jumps at the opportunity when she's offered a nannying job in picturesque West Cork. The assignment is for the Carroll family, whose stunning house is situated on a stretch of remote coastline. It's the perfect chance for Amy to start over - far away from her life in Dublin she is trying to escape.

With two adorable children to oversee, a pair of generous employers and a lavish new home, everything seems wonderful. So why can't Amy shake a creeping sense of unease? Perhaps it's the husband's erratic behaviour. Or the strange messages that somebody has been painting around the local village.

Quickly, it becomes clear that all is not well in the Carroll marriage, nor in their idyllic rural community. Whispered secrets and strange occurrences fill the breath-taking scenery with menace and, as the days pass, Amy realises that the refuge she has sought just might be the most dangerous place of all . . .

'Utterly chilling, with a real sting in the tail' Sam Blake, author of Remember My Name

Critics Review

A gripping, contemporary gothic thriller. I tore through it. I simply couldn’t put it down.

Edel Coffey, author of BREAKING POINT

Claustrophobic . . . No one is who they seem to be, which kept me guessing with each page I turned. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Someone You Trust as it is a great read

Patricia Gibney, author of THREE WIDOWS

Dark, intense and emotional, this haunting whodunit is utterly chilling, with a real sting in its twisty tail

Sam Blake, author of REMEMBER MY NAME

It’s rare a thriller has such an emotional core but this one does. Fabulous

Martina Murphy, author of THE NIGHT CALLER

Equal parts tautly woven, chilling, and heartbreaking, Someone You Trust is a thriller that will take readers on an emotional roller coaster. With ratcheting tension and a mounting sense of dread, you might think you know what’s happening, but this is a story that will defy your expectations. A must-read for fans of domestic suspense

Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of THE GIRLS ARE ALL SO NICE HERE

Nothing is what it seems in this creepy, propulsive, atmospheric thriller. I dare you not to read it in one sitting

Kieran Scott, author of REGRETS ONLY

Praise for Rachel Ryan’s debut Hidden Lies:

A stylish, spare, well-structured piece of work . . . Ryan skilfully ramps up the suspense until the atmosphere is tight as a drum . . . A gripping, propulsive debut

Irish Times

A gripping thriller that packs an emotional punch . . . Hidden Lies is a muscular and compelling read that looks set to see Ryan join the ranks of the thriller-writing heavyweights

Irish Independent

I didn’t put it down until I had turned the final page. A rollercoaster of a read, the pace is relentless, resulting in a denouement that will take your breath away. Bravo, Rachel Ryan!
