2026 has been one of my favourite years for Irish fiction, and it's only getting better. A recent psychological thriller became an instant bestseller and shot to the top of my reading list, and it's outside of my reading comfort zone.
Edel Coffey's In Glass Houses is a psychological thriller you really need to read this month. Readers have been raving about Coffey's impeccable thriller, which was revealed as a no.1 bestseller by Eason recently.
Twenty years ago, Eddie's career as a journalist was destroyed by the Juliet Fox case. Juliet was young and beautiful, born into the privileged world of the Manhattan elite. Pulled into their orbit by her investigation, Eddie discovered how far the rich and powerful are prepared to go when their way of life is threatened.
Eddie has always known that the wrong man was made the scapegoat for Juliet's murder. So when a new luxury sky-rise is opened by Juliet's father, just metres from where her body was discovered two decades before, Eddie can't resist finding her way in, back into a world where dangerous people operate in the shadows, and anyone might kill to keep a secret safe.
This is Edel Coffey's third novel to reach number one in the Irish charts.
The Irish author said she's so thrilled with the book's success.
"The more I write and publish, the more aware and grateful I am of how special and unusual this is.
"I’m so very grateful to every single person who has bought a copy, spread the word, and given me their hard-earned time and attention. I don’t take it for granted for a single second," Coffey added.
