Thank you for picking up The Catch – I hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve always been fascinated by families and the powerful bonds that hold them together – ties of blood, marriage, love. One of the greatest joys of my life has been seeing my own children grow up into wonderful adults, and as a parent your mind inevitably turns to what might come next for them: maybe a partner somewhere down the line. Maybe a fiancé, a husband, a wife – a new member of the family.
As a thriller writer, my mind approached this in a slightly different way: what’s the worst that could happen in this situation? How about if my potential new son-in-law only seems to be perfect, loving and kind, smart and successful? And what if everyone thinks he is perfect – except me? What if my gut instinct tells me he is hiding something very, very dark inside, but no-one believes me? That was the germ of the idea that became The Catch.
My next psychological thriller, Trust Me, starts with a simple act of kindness that has terrifying consequences . . .
Ellen is just trying to help, to give a few minutes respite to the flustered young mother sitting opposite her on the train – a few minutes holding her baby while the mother makes an urgent phone call. The weight of the child in her arms making Ellen’s heart ache for what she can never have.
Five minutes pass.
Ten.
The train pulls into a station and she is stunned to see the mother hurrying away down the platform, without looking back. Leaving her baby behind. Ellen is about to raise the alarm when she discovers a note in the baby’s bag, three desperate lines scrawled hastily on a piece of paper:
Please protect Mia. Don’t trust the police. Don’t trust anyone.
Why would a mother abandon her child to a stranger? Ellen is about to discover that the baby in her arms holds the key to an unspeakable crime. And doing the right thing might just cost her everything . . .
