*AN INSTANT NO.1 BESTSELLER*

All the neighbours have secrets. But how far will they go to keep them?

Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person?
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 what you did.
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…

'Andrea Mara's best book yet. Absolutely outstanding!' Claire Douglas, bestselling author of The Wrong Sister

'Cleverly plotted and told from various points of view, It Should Have Been You shows how one mistake can have life-threatening consequences.' Sunday Independent

'Plays expertly into one of our worst nightmares. The convincing storyline maintains real dread in a world of everyday domestic detail. Very enjoyable.' Daily Mail

Wow, It Should Have Been You blew me away. Ingenious plotting, brilliantly written, pacy and totally unpredictable, I devoured it over a weekend. This is Andrea Mara’s best book yet. Absolutely outstanding!

Claire Douglas
