“This nail-biting thriller explores the fine line between justice and revenge and it’s a novel which will be remembered long after you finish it — it’s a triumph.” Very chuffed with this The Irish Examiner review of The One You Least Suspect.

Thanks to Fiona Gartland and the Irish Times for this lovely piece on my writing and the new book. You can read the full piece here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

Lovely review in the Irish Independent for The One You Least Suspect (out Thurs): "An utterly believable and breathlessly exciting examination of the distrust and suspicion that still permeates post-Good Friday Agreement life in the North from the pen of a true master of Ulster noir crime fiction.”

I’ve a few launch events confirmed for The One You Least Suspect. Fri. 2nd May 6pm with John Connolly in No Alibis, Belfast. Wed 7th May 7.30pm with Stuart Neville in Dromore Cathedral as part of Dromore Book Festival. Thurs 8th May 7pm Official launch event in Waterstones, Derry. Everyone welcome.

Really looking forward to this event this weekend in Oxford in the company of the wonderful Jane Casey.

This was a lovely early Christmas present: the bound proofs of The One You Least Suspect have landed! Out on 8th May 2025 and available to pre-order now.

For any Hope Steeet watchers, my episode for season 4 airs this evening on BBC 1 NI at 7pm. Hope you enjoy it! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Coming to it a year late, but this novel from @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social is just wonderful. Beautifully written, thoughtful and challenging. A masterclass in writing.

This wrecks me—every single time.

Please spread the word to any aspiring crime-writers out there. The competition will be judged by award-winning authors. Might be a kickstart to someone's career.

Hello from Harrogate International Festivals! Obligatory first post on Bluesky – please RT to let people know that we are here. Looking forward to finding friends and building networks!

I know I’m woefully late to the party, but have finally (binge) watched Detectorists the past week or two and it’s just wonderful: full of gentleness and decency. And so beautifully written.

I’m thrilled to reveal the cover for my new novel, The One You Least Suspect. Out 8th May, 2025. A gripping, heart-wrenching thriller that explores the fine line between right and wrong, justice and revenge, and how you choose your side when everyone is guilty.

@gbpoliceadvisor.bsky.social ’s City on Fire - out in March 2024 - is an intelligent, nuanced police procedural which explores the personal cost to those caught in the crossfire in the fight against drugs in Brighton. Gripping, authentic and not to be missed.

Officially publishing on 4/1/24 but in shops in Ireland now, @samblakebooks.bsky.social’s new one, Three Little Birds, is well worth checking out. Immersive and richly detailed, past and present collide in this gripping first instalment in a new series.

I’ll get my first ever screen credit as a writer on this Monday’s episode of Hope Street on BBC One NI at 7pm and on iPlayer. I’d a ball writing on the show. Hopefully viewers will enjoy it too. And if you do watch, keep an eye out for the Camping Supplies sign!

Strabane RFC is 100 years old and has never had a pitch, changing rooms or clubhouse of our own. We’ve over 200 Youth and Mini players who need these facilities. Please share: A future, For Us! youtu.be/iycuX6TnBwc?fe… via @YouTube

Blue sky friends - a quick request. Strabane RFC is 100 years old but has never had a home ground. We have a chance now to make that happen, but we need help. If you can, please help. Thanks. gofund.me/7205e6ce

Catching up on long overdue reading and started with David Fennell’s newest, The Silent Man. Layered story telling in an expansive canvas, combining Fennell’s knack for building creeping dread alongside a deep empathy for his characters. His best yet! @davidfennell.bsky.social

I’d the absolute joy of writing two episodes (eps4 & 13) for Hope Street Series 3 which returns this Mon 30th at 7pm on BBC One NI. The first 8 eps available on iplayer at the same time. The second batch of 7 eps will pick up at the same time on Mon 1st January 2024.
