Shay Dunne is a poison pen. Not that she wants to be one. But a recent tragedy in her life has left her hell-bent on dishing out some punishment to the two people she blames. Sending them a letter containing a vague accusation will do the trick.

Someone To Blame

Someone To Blame

Only the letters set in motion a series of unintended consequences, and Shay soon discovers that in the close-knit Irish village she calls home, a community still reeling from Covid, there are sinister secrets everywhere.

The Story Behind The Story

J. J. Green explains: “The inspiration for the book came from a story I was told when I was little about a woman who sent anonymous letters to people living in her village. I found the story fascinating and it always stayed with me. I thought it might make an intriguing story, writing about the consequences that anonymous letters would have on a tight-knit community where some people had carefully guarded secrets.”
