It Should Have Been You





They came for you. But they got the wrong house... A gripping, unputdownable thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author of NO ONE SAW A THING. Andrea Mara turns ordinary fears into extraordinary thrillers, and this is her best book yet.

Get ready for your new obsession - the unputdownable No.1 bestselling thriller

Your neighbours have secrets. How far would they go to keep them?

Look what you started.
You text your sister. Your message is full of gossip about your neighbour. But you accidentally send it to the entire local community WhatsApp group instead.

Now everyone knows.
As rumour spreads like wildfire through the picture-perfect neighbourhood, you convince yourself that people will move on, that this will quickly be forgotten. But then you receive the first death threat.

And someone wants you dead.
The next day, a woman has been murdered. And what’s even more chilling is that she had the same address as you – 26 Oakpark – but in a different part of town. Did the killer get the wrong house? It won’t be long before you find out…

Praise for Andrea Mara

:

This one is an absolute page turner!

Shari Lapena

A thriller honed to a fine point, sharp and keen and piercing; it's darkly comic, too, and uncommonly observant. This is suspense you can feel good about.
