Hello and welcome! You join me as my new crime drama OUR HOLIDAY hits the Sunday Times bestseller list - it is out now in paperback, ebook and audio and is a Richard & Judy Book Club pick. It features my favourite ever love-to-hate characters (wait till you meet Perry and Charlotte...), second home owners in the idyllic beach resort of Pine Ridge. They may think they're in town for their annual fix of sun, sea and rosé, but they're actually facing a summer of death and destruction... The year 2024 marks my 20th anniversary as an author - that's right, my first book was published in 2004, which somehow manages to feel both like yesterday AND a hundred years ago. I'm so proud that 2024 has brought two prestigious awards for my 90s-set thriller THE ONLY SUSPECT: the Capital Crime Fingerprint Award for Thriller of the Year and the Ned Kelly Award for Best International Crime Fiction. I was also nominated for a CWA Dagger in the Library Award, voted for by librarians and readers. OUR HOUSE is the one you may know me for as it's on our screens as a major four-part ITV drama starring Martin Compston and Tuppence Middleton (watch the full series free on ITVX). This is the novel that turned my career around, winning the 2019 British Book Awards Book of the Year - Crime & Thriller and shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award, the Capital Crime Amazon Publishing Best Crime Novel of the Year Award​, and the Audible Sounds of Crime Award. It was also longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award and the Specsavers National Book Awards. A Waterstones Thriller of the Month, it recently received a Nielsen Bestseller Silver Award for 250,000 copies sold. OUR HOLIDAY, THE ONLY SUSPECT, THE OTHER PASSENGER, THE SWIMMING POOL and THE DAY YOU SAVED MY LIFE are all in development for the screen - I'll share news as soon as I can. A bit about me: I live in a South London neighbourhood not unlike the one in my books, with my husband, daughter and a fox-red Labrador called Bertie who is the apple of my eye. Books, TV and long walks are my passions - and drinking wine in the sun with family and friends. Authors I love include Tom Wolfe, Patricia Highsmith, Barbara Vine, Agatha Christie and Evelyn Waugh. My favourite book is Madame Bovary.
