  49. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thank you to my most active cheerleaders: Steph, Ed and Vicki – whose regular messages of encouragement throughout the writing of this book were the only things that kept me sane. Thank you too, to all of my friends in the crime-writing world, who make the whole thing a joy (even when it isn’t). A special thanks to Paddy, too, for being in the right place at the right time.

Thanks to all of my faithful readers, bloggers and reviewers, who say lovely things and who make the whole, long process from idea to draft to final version worthwhile.

Massive thanks to Steve Street for his generous CLIC Sargent bid to have his name in this book. Very much appreciated, and I hope you and Marion enjoyed the ride.

Thanks, as always, to my friends and family – who are constantly supportive, encouraging and proud (even when I don’t see or speak to them for weeks on end while I am locked away in my fictional world). It’s always a bit terrifying when family read my books, a bit like those online reviewers who like to say exactly what they think … So an extra special thanks to my sister, Abby, who read the proof and loved it!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

S.J.I. (Susi) Holliday is a scientist, writing coach and the bestselling author of five crime novels, including the Banktoun Trilogy (Black Wood, Willow Walk and The Damselfly), the festive chiller The Deaths of December and her creepy Gothic psychological thriller The Lingering. Her short story ‘Home from Home’ was published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and shortlisted for the CWA Margery Allingham Prize. Encapsulating her love of travel and claustrophobic settings, her latest novel, Violet, explores toxic friendships and the perils of talking to strangers. All of her novels have been UK ebook number-one bestsellers. Susi was born and raised in Scotland and now divides her time between Edinburgh, London and as many other exciting places that she can fit in.
