I spent my childhood in a cottage in the middle of a Suffolk pine forest, where my two younger siblings and I had the freedom to roam the forest alone. This experience helped inspire my best-selling debut novel, The Twins, a Richard and Judy pick, followed by: Without You, The Other Me, The Stranger, How It Ends, The Bench, The Central Line and Seven Months of Summer. My latest novels are psychological suspense, centred in a particular house, so that the house becomes a character in its own right: Identical, One Dark Summer, and What Happened at Number 13, currently number one in Noir Fiction. My sister recently asked me what it's like living with such dark ideas in my head - I actually find it quite cathartic, although there's a limit as to where I let my imagination take me! My books have been translated into 16 languages. It's exciting to think of them being read all over the world. When I was little I wanted to be a zoologist, but as I'm no good at science subjects, I've been a Guardian columnist, a journalist on women’s magazines, and a script reader instead. Writing novels is my favourite job. When I'm not writing, I dance tango, make (and eat) cakes, walk the dog, and discuss plot points with my husband.
