Latest novel
The Treasures
Out now in paperback & 99p on Kindle UK for all of August
My new novel, The Treasures, is the first in a trilogy about a family, and a house. It spans decades and continents and I hope you love it. I am extremely excited about it.
Book 1 in the trilogy is about Tom Raven and Alice Jansen, how they meet, the secret that binds them, and what brings them together. It opens in 1965 in upstate New York and moves to Scotland, Notting Hill in the 50s, and Manhattan in the febrile, seismic summer of 68.
​
I have always wanted to write about a family from start to finish, their beginnings and the decades that follow. This trilogy will take us from the Second World War to the present day. I can't wait for you to read it.
‘You understand, don’t you Mr Dryden. Nothing worse than the sound of a book’s spine being cracked.’
‘D is for Death’
Out in paperback 13th February
D Is for Death, my first murder mystery, was published in hardback in June and I’m thrilled at the reception it’s had both from readers and reviewers. It’s the first in a series featuring detective Dora Wildwood, who runs away from a terrible engagement to London in 1935. Seeking solace in her favourite place, the London Library, she discovers a dead body and has to turn detective to try and solve the murder. I
hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

‘A charming and authentic ode to Golden Age crime fiction and to books in general’ – Chris Brookmyre
