Critics Review

A truly first class crime novel. Intricate, suspenseful, twisted. Plus, a fantastic female protagonist in Frankie Sheehan who can stand proud with some of the great fictional detectives. Just knock-out.

Brilliant … Clever and compelling, I could hardly breathe myself as I raced to the end.

Loved this, clever, assured and a true page turner. Can’t wait for next one!

Fantastic … Compelling, chilling and brilliant.

Mesmerizing. Olivia Kiernan carefully unspools a complex riddle of murder, betrayal, and secret lives, layering on the menace even as she builds her tough-as-nails chief detective for the climatic finale. Clever plot. Brilliant characters. Everything you need in a great thriller.

Sheehan is precisely the kind of gruff, no-nonsense cynic you’d want investigating your own murder … Too Close to Breathe reads like a hard-boiled take on Tana French and immediately establishes Olivia Kiernan as a talent to watch. - Irish Times

Edgy debut with strong writing that builds the sense of fatal transgression. - Sunday Times

Smart, grisly and extremely slick - this Dublin set debut delivers a treat. - Daily Mirror
