Ireland has a never-ending list of crime writers that produce some of the most gripping novels, but Liz Nugent has got to be one of our favourites.
She has long been one of the most popular crime writers in Ireland, but her novel Strange Sally Diamond is a standout from her impressive collection of work.
It won Crime Novel of the Year at the Irish Book Awards in 2023 and has become one of the most-talked about crime novels on this little island.
Strange Sally Diamond is currently available for just €1.13 in the Kindle sale. The offer is only available until the end of the day so make sure you don't miss out on this offer.
The fact that you can buy a novel this good, and it won't even cost you as much as a cup of a coffee is pretty incredible.
You can buy it here.
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 . . .
Buy here for €1.13.
