Critical Acclaim for
THE BOY THAT NEVER WAS

‘Genuinely Surprising’
GUARDIAN

‘A beautifully written, tense and twisty tale’
SUNDAY MIRROR

‘Taut, smartly written, empathetic and at times unbearably tense …
The Boy That Never Was
hits the bullseye’
THE IRISH INDEPENDENT

‘Cleverly written. A tense domestic thriller that is full of surprises. Dig a little deeper and you will find the broken heartbeat of this book which is the irreparable grief of the loss of a child’
MAIL ON SUNDAY

‘This is a debut novel that will catch fire’
NELSON DEMILLE

‘A truly remarkable novel.
The Boy That Never Was
is a pitch-perfect balance of driving plot and honest, complex human emotion. Written in a captivating, lyrical style and brilliantly structured, the story grips your heart from the first pages and simply never lets go’
JEFFERY DEAVER


The Boy That Never Was
is that powerful thing, a beautifully written mystery driven by its exploration of the characters’ innermost hearts – of the inexorable ripples that loss sends out, and the terrible damage people can do to those they love most. Both as a crime novel and as an emotional journey, It’s gripping stuff’
TANA FRENCH

‘A twist-filled page-turner’
CLOSER

‘I shot through this in one sitting. Like
Gone Girl
, it’s told alternately by a husband and his wife. At the very beginning, something very shocking happens … It’s the most gripping thing I’ve read for ages’
EVENING STANDARD
