Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person?
Susan sends her sister a gossipy message about their neighbour. But she accidentally posts it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group instead.
It’s an innocent mistake that could happen to anyone, but rumours quickly spread and the backlash spirals. Soon that one wrong message leads to murder.
A local woman is found dead, but when Susan listens to the news report, she realises that the victim had the same address as her but in a different part of town. The killer may have got the wrong victim - they may be coming for her next.

Reviews for It Should Have Been You
Claire Douglas
Cleverly plotted and told from various points of view, It Should Have Been You shows how one mistake can have life-threatening consequences. Punchy writing, strong characterisation and short chapters propel it to a dramatic, satisfying finale. Highly recommended.
Sunday Independent
I was hooked from first page to last as the twists got twistier and all of the characters squirmed while waiting for their darkest secrets to be revealed. May I suggest a new Irish blessing? May you never live in a neighbourhood created by Andrea Mara. Andrea is blessed with a gift for knowing our darkest fears and playing on them like a virtuoso violinist, and I am here for it.
Liz Nugent
'Plays expertly into one of our worst fears. The convincing storyline maintains real dread in a world of everyday domestic detail. Very enjoyable.'
Daily Mail
A runaway plot that gallops along at breakneck speed to its breathtaking conclusion…Mara excels at taking ordinary suburban fears and turning them into heart-stopping thrillers. The twists are ingenious and addictive.
Edel Coffey, Gloss
Andrea has a knack of taking our every day anxieties and turning them into full blown nightmares. She is one of the best psychological thriller writers out there, subtly weaving darkly absorbing stories with relatable characters who leap off the page.
John Marrs
Andrea Mara’s It Should Have Been You is an up-all-night thriller that makes us consider the consequences of one small mistake. Compulsive, twisty, and utterly -page-turning. I devoured it.
Lucy Clarke
It Should Have been You left me breathless. Andrea Mara deftly reveals each character’s dark, deadly secret with her usual skill.
Jane Corry
(A) well-paced and exciting page-turner.
Irish Independent
The queen of the neighbourhood thriller, Mara's multi layered, utterly believable characters grab you from the first page - she gets right under their skin to reveal the darkness and intrigue of ordinary lives as they unravel. Riveting, twisty and revealing, I couldn't put it down.
