Publisher's Summary

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Murder Rule comes an emotional novel of suspense about two families at war.

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.

HOW FAR WILL HIS FAMILY GO TO KEEP HIM SAFE?

Soon, facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. Everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral, fueled by armchair investigators and wild conspiracy theories and illustrated with pretty pictures taken from Nina’s social media accounts. Journalists descend on their small Vermont town, followed by a few obsessive ""fans.""

HOW FAR WILL HER FAMILY GO TO GET TO THE TRUTH?

Nina’s family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters — finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon’s wealthy, powerful family, Nina’s parents recognize that if playing by the rules won’t get them anywhere, it’s time to break them.

Excellent

Heartbreaking story with no winners at the end. Very well executed. It makes us think of both sides of the story.

It was an audiobook with a cast and all the narration was excellent.

riveting and real

Very believable, well told, storyline continuously builds. Obviously written by a female given the emotional development that male authors don't achieve, yet very consumable for male listeners

I didn't See that Coming

I like a book that almost points to one thing,but the story gets there in a round about way. when I say round about way, I mean that is a good thing. I expected one thing but SURPRISE, something else unexpected happens. I loved this book.

Almost True Crime?

The writing was excellent. It was challenging to read as it seemed very similar to a real life case from a few years ago. I kept falling out of the story because of it.

Spellbinding!

This could be taken from today's headlines. But it is so much more. I love Dervla's writing style, listened to her previous books, and I am looking forward to any future books. This writing style in What Happened to Nina puts you next to the characters, You are there as they think and believe they are unobserved and you also observe the fallout from the use and misuse of Social Media as posts manipulate, slander, lie, influence, and decimate people's lives. You've met some of these people in your own life, they are fictional in this story, but could also live in your neighbourhood. You'll think you've heard that story line before, but did you?

Did not expect the twist

Some reviewers say that there was a real life case like this but because I did not know that case, the twist and ending surprised me.

In my opinion, this book also touches the difficulties of parenting such as regrets and fear of judgement of others in our society.

Overall, I recommend it.

Great Read or should I say listen. The author never ceases to amaze!

I enjoyed this novel. Of course you realise who the villain is from the beginning. I grew to hate the family. It’s amazing, it pretty true to life, how the villain and his family tries to appear like the victim.
Although this is fiction, I’m sure some of the scenes in the book, happen in real life. Pretty sad!
