Book Review: Our Little Cruelties by Liz Nugent

Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy of Our Little Cruelties, Liz Nugent's latest psychological thriller. And all I can say is... woah! Cancel all plans (oh, wait...) and devour this twisty little number.

The story opens with three brothers at a funeral. Only thing is, one brother lies within the coffin. One brother has been murdered, and you don't get to find out who it is and how he was killed until the final page. Our Little Cruelties really kept me guessing, tossing heaps of unexpected twists and turns my way.


Think your family is crazy? Think again! Liz Nugent writes delightfully delicious characters that leap off the page and remain etched into your memory for good. You just love to hate them.

Some pretty deep, dark stuff crops up in Our Little Cruelties, including addiction, rape, the #MeToo movement, mental health issues, and, of course... murder.

It's not my first Nugent and it certainly won't be my last!
