Officially #PhDone. Loved every minute of it and very grateful to everyone who helped along the way - particularly my supervisors Prof Andrew Pepper and Dr Dominique Jeannerod. Now available for any non-medical emergencies specifically involving the use of documentation in crime fiction…

“This nail-biting thriller explores the fine line between justice and revenge and it’s a novel which will be remembered long after you finish it — it’s a triumph.” Very chuffed with this The Irish Examiner review of The One You Least Suspect.

Lovely review in the Irish Independent for The One You Least Suspect (out Thurs): "An utterly believable and breathlessly exciting examination of the distrust and suspicion that still permeates post-Good Friday Agreement life in the North from the pen of a true master of Ulster noir crime fiction.”

Coming to it a year late, but this novel from @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social is just wonderful. Beautifully written, thoughtful and challenging. A masterclass in writing.
