BIO
%20(2023)%20Web%20Resolution.jpg)
I'm a Sunday Times bestselling author of thirteen twisty thrillers, including The Dinner Guest, The Garden Party, The Locked Attic, The Winter Visitor and The New Boyfriend. My new festive mystery The Christmas Guest publishes in autumn 2026.
Born and raised in Essex, England, I spent my childhood and teenage years reading compulsively. I worked in bookshops, then went to the University of Southampton to study Film and English. I am an alumnus of the Faber Academy and formerly worked in social media coordination.
​
My novel The Dinner Guest was a Number 1 Times Bestseller and a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller. I have also written a fantasy horror novel, Scuttle, under the name Barnaby Walter and a gothic thriller, Medlock, as S G Hartnell.
