Hello and welcome! You join me as my new crime drama OUR HOLIDAY hits the Sunday Times bestseller list - a WHSmith Richard & Judy Book Club pick, it is out now in paperback, ebook and audio. It features my favourite ever love-to-hate characters Perry and Charlotte, second home owners in the idyllic English beach resort of Pine Ridge, and is now in development for the screen - I'll share news as soon as I can. 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. THE ONLY SUSPECT, THE HEIGHTS, THE OTHER PASSENGER, THE SWIMMING POOL and THE DAY YOU SAVED MY LIFE are also all in development for the screen, which means I spend a lot of time with my fingers crossed! 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.
