WHERE THEY LIE by Claire CoughlanRead about another book on the list.
Celebrated Irish author John Banville, who writes the popular Quirke crime series set in mid-century Ireland, praises journalist Coughlan’s 1968-set historical literary thriller. The murder mystery follows Nicoletta, an ambitious young reporter, as new evidence in a long-forgotten murder is uncovered; it’s related to an underground feminist abortion service, making the novel as much about Irish women’s long quest for reproductive autonomy as a whodunnit.
