Run Time

The Irish Times bestseller

A September 2022 IndieNext Pick

Shortlisted for the An Post Irish Crime Fiction Book of the Year 2022

Catherine Ryan Howard is a master thriller writer and Run Time is up there with the best, as the movie set of nightmares she so evocatively conjures starts to turn on its lead actress. The twisty, ingenious plotting, and the atmospheric location make for a deeply chilling and unputdownable read. I didn’t want it to end!
