Critic reviews

A quintessentially Irish story of secrets, lies, shame and protecting reputations

Somebody Knows, Michelle McDonagh's powerful second novel, is a dramatic exploration of the bonds that tie families together across generations

With some very powerful moments, capturing tenderness, drama and trauma, Somebody Knows is a compelling tale, another well-crafted story from this Irish writer who is slowly staking her claim as the 'Queen of Irish Rural Noir'

The suspense

It was a phenomenal book and the reader was awesome. Michelle is a new author to me but I will definitely be reading more of her work.

Great suspense and the narrator did a super job!

Kept me guessing til the end. Well developed characters and plot! Thank you - looking forward to the next one

I thought I knew the ending… spoiler alert..you don’t!!

Great ending, makes me want a sequel. I feel like I needed more. There were places that were a bit wordy, but overall good story.
