About this item
"The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among warehouses in London. Its roof terrace is so discreet, you wouldn't know it existed if you weren't standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that's when you see a man up there--a man you'd recognize anywhere. He may be older now, but it's definitely him. But that can't be because he's been dead for over two years. You know this for a fact. Because you're the one who killed him"--
About the Author
Hello and welcome! I am the bestselling author of 15 novels, a fact I can't quite believe myself, and my books are published all over the world. OUR HOUSE is the one you may be hearing about at the moment as it's now on our screens as a major four-part ITV drama starring Martin Compston, Tuppence Middleton and Rupert Penry-Jones. This is the novel that turned my career around - right when I was about to give up. It won the 2019 British Book Awards Book of the Year - Crime & Thriller and was 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. I couldn't have asked for more, really, and feel so proud that readers are continuing to discover it and recommend it far and wide.THE HEIGHTS is my newest book - it's a twisty revenge thriller whose narrator, Ellen, has a strange fear of heights known as 'high place phenomenon'. You could say she's my most Hitchcock-inspired character yet! I can't wait for you to read it and share your thoughts. The paperback publishes in the UK in June 2022. Out now is THE OTHER PASSENGER (I call it 'commuter noir') was one of the biggest sellers of lockdown (a dubious honour) , selling over 250,000 copies in the UK to date. It's my first ever Richard & Judy Book Club pick and was longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award 2021, which makes me very happy. A bit about me: I live in a South London neighbourhood not unlike the one in my books, with my husband, teenage daughter, and a fox-red Labrador called Bertie who is the apple of my eye. Books, TV and long walks have been my top sanity savers during recent times. Oh, and wine.Get up-to-date offers by clicking on the yellow 'Follow' button under my pic.
