  62. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

To my publisher, Thomas & Mercer, for their unfailing enthusiasm and to Jack Butler, Victoria Haslam, Ian Pindar and Gill Harvey for whipping this book into shape. To Tom Sanderson, for creating another stunner of a cover. A special mention to my author friends, Mel Sherratt and Angela Marsons in particular, for being a very important part of my journey. Crime writers are the best. A special shout-out to those in a certain Facebook group where I spend my time when in full procrastination mode. To Morgan Ward, who won a prize to name a character in my book. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing Morgan come to life. Also to Connie and Naomi, two lovely ladies from across the pond whom I’ve known for many years now.

A quick mention of the lovely New Forest where I enjoyed a pre-Covid stay. It’s a beautiful part of the UK countryside and thankfully nicer than my fictional village of Nighbrook, so don’t let that put you off!

One last special shout to my grown-up children Paul, Aoife, Jess and Ben. You’re all stars and I’m so proud of each of you. To Neil, my husband, endless thanks as always for your unfaltering support. Without your ability to dream big, I would never be in the fortunate position of being able to call myself an author, because I never would have imagined myself capable of it.

Thank you for reading if you’ve made it this far. I love hearing from my readers and you can contact me via email on [email protected]. You can also find me on Facebook @CMitchellAuthor, on Twitter @Caroline_writes and Instagram @Caroline_writes.

Until next time,

Caroline

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A former police detective, Caroline Mitchell now writes full-time.

She has worked in CID and specialised in roles dealing with vulnerable victims – high-risk victims of domestic abuse and serious sexual offences. The mental strength shown by the victims of these crimes is a constant source of inspiration to her, and Mitchell combines their tenacity with her knowledge of police procedure to create tense psychological thrillers.

Originally from Ireland, she now lives in a pretty village on the coast of Essex with her husband and three children.
