When twins Ellery and Ezra have to move in with their grandmother in Echo Ridge, they are not expecting quite this level of drama - and death. On their first night they discover a victim of an apparent hit and run.

Two previous homecoming queens were killed years apart in this small-knit community, one being the aunt they never met. Now with warnings about a third attempt being imminent, they are worried what dark secrets everyone are hiding. Is Malcolm, whose brother was a suspect last time, someone to trust? 

Filled with suspense and twists that you won't see coming. Perfect for crime-obsessed fans like the main character Ellery, you'll be second-guessing everyone and everything. 

A refreshing cast of characters, where everyone has quite distinct personalities and feels well fleshed out, and a fast paced narrative that will have you racing to the thrilling conclusion.

TV shows you can watch all day long (when not busy writing)

Strictly Come Dancing – Absolutely number 1 on my list. Always. I’m already counting down the days to the upcoming series.

ER – I watched ER from the start. If there’s a repeat on, I’m there.

Absolutely Fabulous – Loved it when it was first broadcast and have just started watching Series 1 again on Netflix with my daughter and am laughing just as madly as I did the first time around. Comedy genius.

Friends – I’m waiting to get tired of it but it hasn’t happened yet…

Great British Bake Off – Mary and Paul, Mel and Sue, all that bunting and and all that ambitious delicious BREAD and CAKE. Seriously, what’s not to like?

Books you’d save from a burning bookcase

The Prophet – for some grown-up wisdom

The Little Prince – for always trying to make sense of the world
