From Little Stack
I love this book’s original plot. The main character, Emilia Ward, is a bestselling crime writer on her tenth novel. However, life takes quite the turn when an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life. She thinks it's a coincidence until it happens again. Then someone she knows dies exactly like a victim in the book she’s still writing, the book that isn’t published... This is another book leaning into crime thriller but the crime writer theme had me desperate to include it in this list! One of my favourite can’t-put-down novels in recent years.
A bestselling detective novelist and her family are in danger when chilling events from her novels begin happening around her in this gripping thriller.
Emilia has a dream life. But someone knows the truth . . .
Emilia Ward lives in suburban London with her husband, their young son, and a teenager from her first marriage. Emilia is an ordinary mom—and she's also the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels.
But when writing her tenth—and most difficult—book, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident mimicking the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, right?
Until it happens again. And again. Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing. Why is someone doing this? What do they want? How could they possibly know what she's thinking—and writing?
Is Emilia and her family next?
