Happy #publicationday to @janecasey.bsky.social 😍and #thesecretroom ♥️ @harpercollins.bsky.social 📚 Started reading it last Saturday afternoon. Finished it before midnight. It's utterly compelling - emotionally overwhelming at times - and I can't recommend it highly enough #crimefiction #irishauthor
