Beautifully designed book cover and intriguing premise. I love a good Irish crime novel. Unfortunately, I did not end up liking Nina as much as I expected I would. I typically enjoy multiple POVs and find them very effective for crime novels, but I found myself having trouble keeping track of characters and events, and I found the lead up to the big reveal of the main antagonist slightly muddled. However, I absolutely loved the dynamics between Elizabeth and April and following along on their perhaps unlikely friendship. I also very much liked the character of Nick.

This was a very wild emotional ride I loved every minute of it and didn’t want it to end if you want edge of your seat good this is the one

Nina is a powerful and unforgettable novel. It is a dark and often unsettling journey into the heart of loss and evil, but it is also a story of incredible resilience, the enduring power of a mother's love, and the possibility of finding light and connection even in the bleakest of times. The author skillfully balances suspense with deep emotional exploration, creating a narrative that is both a compelling mystery and a poignant human drama. The characters, particularly Elizabeth and the unforgettable April, will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned. It's a story that affirms the importance of seeking truth, confronting the past, and the quiet courage found in the everyday act of not giving up.
