Praise for The Doll's House

‘A real page turner - Phillips’ book is laced with tension and gradually builds to a thrilling finale. What’s particularly great about the novel is the author’s fearlessness in delving into the darker recesses of the Irish capital.’

The Irish Post

'The past and present collide with deadly effect - A gripping, suspenseful story, peopled with well-drawn characters....’

Irish Independent

'A great read told at breakneck speed, cue sitting on the edge of your seat for 400 pages'

BBC Radio Ulster

‘We can at last witness the rich experience of childhood and motherhood being minded in Irish literature’

Irish Examiner

‘Chilling, mesmerising. Gets under your skin and stays with you.'

Niamh O'Connor

'Another action packed crime thriller from this bestselling author, who should be found on the shelves between the likes of MandaSue Heller, Patricia Cornwell, and James Patterson.'

Kim the Bookworm - Stafford FM

Praise for RED RIBBONS

‘A cracker of a novel, highly recommended, a phenomenal debut’

Arlene Hunt

‘Red Ribbons is an absolutely brilliant book … spine-tingling with loads of twists and turns. A debut novel from a great writer who will soon be up there with the likes of Patricia Cornwell’

Stafford FM

‘Dark, spooky, but believable’

Irish Examiner

‘Red Ribbons has been getting rave reviews, especially for the insight it offers into the emotions of a mother who has lost her child’

Irish Mail on Sunday

‘The pace of this book is spot on, revealing information from the killer’s past bit by bit to keep the reader turning the pages’
