What happened to Nina by Dervla McTiernan
The latest suspense novel from Perth based McTiernan. I enjoyed her other novels, and this is no exception. Loosely based on the real life disappearance of Gabby Petito, the novel isn’t so much a “who dunnit” but a “what happens next“.
Nina and her boyfriend Simon are seemingly the perfect couple. One weekend they are climbing on Simo’s family’s property in Vermont but only Simon comes home. Nina’s family are desperate for answers, Simon’s parents just want to protect him and the armchair investigators, conspiracy theorists and online trolls just want to use the tragedy to get attention. How do you find out what happened to Nina when everyone involved is not playing by any rules? How far do you go to protect the ones you love?
