Strange Sally Diamond : Crime Novel of the Year, Irish Book Awards 2023,

The bestselling author of Skin Deep delivers another dark, edge-of-your-seat tale of crime, obsession and trauma, as the disturbing memories of the titular protagonist’s childhood start to shape and dominate her present.



Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died. Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she cannot remember. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends and big decisions, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.



But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world? And why does her neighbour seem to be obsessed with her? Sally's trust issues are about to be severely challenged.
