About The Author
Meet Zoe Mayen
Zoe Mayen writes the kind of books you start on a Sunday afternoon and finish at 3 a.m. with every light in the house on. Her cozy thrillers blend the warmth of an Agatha Christie drawing room with the razor-sharp suspense of a modern psychological thriller.
A former journalist turned full-time novelist, Zoe draws inspiration from the places she's lived — from the mist-covered moors of Yorkshire to the sun-scorched coasts of Central America. When she's not plotting murders on her kitchen whiteboard, she can be found walking her rescue greyhound, Clementine, and drinking far too much Earl Grey.
Her four novels have been translated into twelve languages and have collectively spent 47 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list.
