Last night saw the annual Irish Book Awards announcements happen online, and among the winners was novelist and Irish Examiner columnist Louise O’Neill, taking home the Crime Fiction Book of the Year laurels for most recent novel 'After the Silence'.
The book represents new territory for O'Neill after previous critical and sales successes with 'Almost Love', 'Only Ever Yours', and 'Asking for It', the latter of which has also enjoyed critical acclaim in its theatrical adaptation.
