"Edel Coffey is like an Irish Jodi Picoult! Her hugely anticipated second novel, In Her Place, examines ""the other woman"" conundrum from two different perspectives. It's propulsive, thought-provoking and unputdownable -- Marian Keyes It's an incredible read of despair, love, hope and betrayal. I thoroughly enjoyed it -- Liz Nugent Edel Coffey goes right to the heart of human relationships, examining what truly matters to us and how far we might go to secure our dreams. An emotionally complex, compelling and thought-provoking story -- Jane Casey Edel's second novel is a wild and twisty ride - and, like her debut, guaranteed to get readers talking -- Catherine Ryan Howard A thought-provoking thriller with a brilliant premise - this one is going to be a Book Club favourite in 2024! -- Louise O'Neill Gripping! -- Elaine Feeney With a brilliant premise and non-stop pace, In Her Place is a stellar example of dilemma-noir. Clever, fresh, dark and thought-provoking - I gulped it down -- Andrea Mara A page-turning, twisty, captivating thriller -- Sinead Moriarty A slow burning, yet very creepy, thriller that will leave you wondering 'what would I do?' * Best *"
