‘Would you know a serial killer if you met one?
What if she served your coffee every day?‘
– The Good Girl
The Good Girl by Michelle Dunne will be released March 7th with Bloodhound Books and is described as ‘a totally absorbing psychological thriller, an utterly unmissable page-turner ‘.
Michelle Dunne is the author of While Nobody Is Watching and The Invisible, both novels in the compelling Cork-based series, featuring the gutsy and indomitable ex-soldier Lindsey Ryan.
Michelle Dunne is a very exciting writer with a very dark and devious mind, so I would be recommending you all to get those pre-orders in now! You can read more about The Good Girl and about Michelle below.

[ About The Good Girl ]
Grace Murphy doesn’t seem like the type of woman who’d have a man cable-tied to a chair, slowly dying in her house. She keeps to herself and goes through life relatively unnoticed, working as a barista and caring for her sister, providing her with wholesome meals and a clean home—things they never had as children . . .
Det. Garda Jerry Hughes knows about Grace’s brutal and troubled childhood; his own life was profoundly affected by it.
Jerry still checks in on the sisters from time to time. But at the moment, he’s distracted by work. Men have been going missing in the city—and they seem to have nothing in common aside from a physical resemblance to someone from Grace Murphy’s past . . .
[ About Michelle Dunne ]
Born and raised in the harbour town of Cobh, Co Cork, Michelle joined the Irish army at the age of 18, where she went from recruit, to infantry soldier, to Peacekeeper with the UN, to one of the first female instructors back home in Ireland.
During her time in Lebanon, tracer rounds lit up the sky above her and artillery rained down, while she got to experience first-hand the camaraderie between soldiers and the reality of their lives. She also got to see what it’s like for ordinary families, forced to live in conflict zones. These experiences have inspired much of her work to date.
The Good Girl is Michelle’s third thriller and takes a long look at the darker side of life. Her other work includes While Nobody Is Watching and The Invisible, a series of thrillers featuring former soldier, Lindsey Ryan as she tries to adapt to her new life in the clutches on PTSD. The series is currently in development for television.
Michelle is also organiser and programmer of the Spike Island Literary Festival, which takes place on Ireland’s very own Alcatraz.
