Irish crime fiction is thriving, and this week sees the release of two new offerings: Zoë Miller’s The Girls’ Trip and Lucy O’Callaghan’s Obsession. Both books are now on my TBR pile.
The Girls’ Trip by Zoë Miller.
It was a holiday she would never let them forget …
‘She had it coming. So had the others.’
In 2007, four friends returned home from a week in Ibiza with secrets to keep. When they agreed never to contact each other again, all traces of their holiday were erased. Or so they thought.
Now, almost seventeen years after that trip, Anna’s sister Kim is still picking up the pieces after Anna abandoned her life without warning. Kim is sure that Anna’s unexplained departure had something to do with her visit to Ibiza. And when a photo from the trip surfaces unexpectedly, she finally has some clues to start looking into what happened to her sister.
Julia, Cora and Faye are forced to come together when they realise someone might be looking into the past. But how far will they go to bury the truth? And what’s to stop one of them from letting a ‘friend’ take the fall, in order to save herself?

Obsession by Lucy O’Callaghan
When a woman’s desire to help those who need it most sparks a dangerous obsession in one man, will she be able to see what’s right in front of her?
She needs to help. He needs her help. It’s that simple… or is it?
Since losing her brother to suicide five years ago, Rachel has thrown herself into her job, supporting men in getting back to work and rebuilding their self-esteem. Men like Peter—an ordinary man, seemingly down on his luck, but hiding a dependency on painkillers and alcohol.
Peter mistakes Rachel’s kindness for something more and believes they are destined to be together—even if she needs a little help along the way to realize it.
While Rachel is consumed with helping others, she is blind not only to Peter’s growing infatuation but also to family secrets emerging from the past.
Will Rachel recognize Peter’s obsession before it is too late?
