Mandatory Reporting

Debut author Jenny Wilson O'Raghallaigh is sure to stun readers in this page turner of a psychological thriller

Jonah is in way over his head. His study abroad year in Dublin isn’t going as planned: instead of the engineering program he requested, the only option available to him is a course in psychology. Rather than the predictable world of numbers, he is forced into the complicated and unpredictable world of human emotions and actions—exactly where he doesn’t want to be.

In therapy with an enigmatic doctor, fumbling to acclimate to a new country, and plunged into the quicksand of family mental health alongside a beautiful but troubled clinic supervisor, Jonah begins to unravel. How can he help others navigate the murky depths of family trauma when he’s still fighting to survive his own?

And then, someone dies.

Jonah is caught in the complex and unfamiliar web of relationships at the core of the Irish experience. He has the familiar feeling of being watched, carefully. The familiar feeling that he is to blame. Did he reveal too much to his therapist? Has his work at the clinic enraged a violent father?

As the Irish police begin to investigate, is Jonah now the prime suspect?
