An Evening with Lisa Jewell and Andrea Mara

This event has ended

Royal Irish Academy of Music, Tuesday 16th June

From thrilling plots and unexpected twists to deeply complex characters, join Dublin Book Festival for an evening with two bestselling authors as we delve into the dark and gripping worlds of their latest psychological thrillers.

In Lisa Jewell’s It Could Have Been Her, a lost dog, whose owner is now missing, draws Jane back to an isolated house that she has been in before. 25 years earlier, she was here with a man she didn’t know.. until a scream and thud from upstairs sent her running. Now, when she glimpses a haunted looking woman through the window, she is driven to finally uncover the house’s secrets. But those secrets are more terrifying than she could have ever imagined, especially when she realises it could have been her…

In Andrea Mara’s Such a Nice Girl, a getaway to a glamorous, luxury wedding takes a dark turn. When you and your best friend go to wake your twenty-four-year-old daughters, you find them missing and a shocking scene left behind. As secrets come to light and you must work together to unravel the mystery, testing your friendship to its limits, could it be that one of your daughters is trying to kill the other? And if so…. which is the killer and which is the victim?

This is an 18+ event.
