What Happened to Nina? by Dervla McTiernan
*5 Stars*
ARC kindly received from Harper Collins Australia for an honest review.
Wow. This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last. I was hooked straight away. Now, I will say this is very similar to the story of Gabby Petito - so I'm going to assume the author was inspired by her case to write this novel. So in saying that, I felt like I knew what would happen, but also at the same time, felt like I didn't know.
I felt this was fairly fast paced and it was interesting because whilst the initial prologue is Nina's POV, the rest of the book is from the POV's of both sets of parents, and of the detective investigating Nina's case. Highlighting how parents feel on both sides, how far a parent will go to protect their children or get to the truth (on both sides) and how much social media can influence views on stories and investigations that the public hear about.
I really enjoyed reading this, I was absolutely hooked and the ending wasn't what I expected, at least not entirely. The last part of the book really gets the ball rolling in terms of pace and the whole storyline coming together. Highly recommend.
