Louise Candlish is the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of 16 novels and she is published all over the world. Her brand-new psychological thriller Our Holiday, set among holiday-home owners on the English south coast, is out on 4 July and available for pre-order now.
Recently published in paperback, The Only Suspect is described by the Daily Mail as 'a perfect blend of nostalgia and menace' and is nominated for the 2024 Capital Crime Fingerprint Award for Best Thriller. Louise is best known for Our House, on our screens as a major four-part ITV drama starring Martin Compston, Tuppence Middleton and Rupert Penry-Jones. It won the British Book Awards Book of the Year – Crime & Thriller and was longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award, Specsavers National Book Award and several other awards. A Waterstones Thriller of the Month, it has received a Nielsen Bestseller Silver Award for 250,000 copies sold. Louise lives in a South London neighbourhood not unlike the ones in her books with her husband, daughter (when she's not at uni), and a fox-red Labrador called Bertie, who is the apple of her eye. Her favourite authors include Tom Wolfe, Patricia Highsmith, Barbara Vine and Agatha Christie. Louise has recently been nominated for the 2024 CWA Dagger in the Library Award. |
