Get ready for your new obsession - the unputdownable new thriller from the million-copy bestselling author of ALL HER FAULT, now a break-out TV show starring Sarah Snook.

Your neighbours have secrets. How far would they go to keep them?

*WINNER Crime Novel of the Year 2025*
*AN INSTANT NO.1 BESTSELLER*

Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person?

Susan sends her sister a gossipy message about their neighbour. But she accidentally posts it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group instead.

It’s an innocent mistake that could happen to anyone, but rumours quickly spread and the backlash spirals. Soon that one wrong message leads to murder.

A local woman is found dead, but when Susan listens to the news report, she realises that the victim had the same address as her but in a different part of town.

The killer may have got the wrong victim - they may be coming for her next.

Critic reviews

Wow, It Should Have Been You blew me away. Ingenious plotting, brilliantly written, pacy and totally unpredictable, I devoured it over a weekend. This is Andrea Mara’s best book yet. Absolutely outstanding!
Cleverly plotted and told from various points of view, It Should Have Been You shows how one mistake can have life-threatening consequences. Punchy writing, strong characterisation and short chapters propel it to a dramatic, satisfying finale. Highly recommended.
I was hooked from first page to last as the twists got twistier and all of the characters squirmed while waiting for their darkest secrets to be revealed. May I suggest a new Irish blessing? May you never live in a neighbourhood created by Andrea Mara. Andrea is blessed with a gift for knowing our darkest fears and playing on them like a virtuoso violinist, and I am here for it.
The convincing storyline maintains real dread in a world of everyday domestic detail. Very enjoyable.
An ingenious, heart-stopping premise that is also utterly relatable – the absolute definition of a page-turner.
Andrea has a knack of taking our every day anxieties and turning them into full blown nightmares. She is one of the best psychological thriller writers out there, subtly weaving darkly absorbing stories with relatable characters who leap off the page.
Andrea Mara’s It Should Have Been You is an up-all-night thriller that makes us consider the consequences of one small mistake. Compulsive, twisty, and utterly -page-turning. I devoured it.
(A) well-paced and exciting page-turner.
Tense, thrilling and relatable.
A simple, ordinary mistake explodes into a suburban nightmare in this hugely compelling, one-sitting read packed full of thrilling moments and genuinely surprising twists. Andrea Mara is at the very top of her game.
