A brand-new bingeable thriller from the Irish number one bestseller, Catherine Ryan Howard. In Ordinary Monster, a mother of two wakes one morning to the police on her doorstep. She is the daughter of an infamous serial killer—and today is the day she finds that out.

Emma’s asleep in bed one morning when she is woken by a knocking on the door. To her alarm, it’s the police – and they have bad news. They believe evidence connected to an unsolved crime might be buried beneath her house in an affluent Dublin suburb. The family need to leave – immediately – so the police can start digging.

Panicked, Emma calls the previous owners: her parents.

When she can’t get hold of either one of them, detectives tell her the rest. The crime in question is a string of disappearances dating back more than thirty years, five women in all. After all this time, a cold-case review has led them to a suspect, a former colleague of one of the missing women.

Better known as Emma’s father, Aidan.
