Author Spotlight: Claire Douglas @Dougieclaire @MichaelJBooks@elliejmorley #ClaireDouglas#TheNewNeighbours #NewBooks #AuthorSpotlight #TheWrongSister #ThenSheVanishes

Good morning everyone and happy Friday. I want to do an author spotlight on my blog for the absolutely fabulous Claire Douglas.

Claire is one of my favourite thriller writers and I always love her books. I often recommend them to people at the book shop when they ask for recommendations for gripping thrillers.

You can therefore imagine my excitement when the lovely Ellie from Michael Joseph offered me a copy of her upcoming book The New Neighbours and a few of her back titles too! I’ve already read The Wrong Sister and you can read the review below but I’m very excited to read the other two very soon.

The New Neighbours is published on the 13th March and you can find out more about the books below ⬇️

The New Neighbours

Do you trust the couple next door?

When Lena overhears a conversation between her next-door-neighbours she thinks she must have misheard.
After all, the Morgans are a kind, retired couple who have moved to a suburban street in Bristol where nothing ever happens. But it sounded like they were planning a crime.

Her family and friends tell her that she’s made a mistake.
Yet Lena can’t stop thinking about it.
Because what if they are about to do something terrible?
What if she can prevent it?
And what if, in doing so, it might help ease her conscience about her own dark past . . .

The Wrong Sister


You’ve known her all your life . . .
Or have you?
Tasha and sister Alice look alike, but couldn’t be more different.
Tasha’s married with kids, settled near their home town of Bristol.
While Alice travels the world with her husband. Yet each trusts the other with her life.
So when Tasha wants a break,Alice offers to stay in her home with the kids, so her sister can have a holiday. Tasha knows they’re in safe hands.
She couldn’t be more wrong.
The call sends Tasha rushing home.
Alice is in intensive care.
Her husband is dead.
The police are hunting for suspects and motives.
But Tasha can’t think why anyone would hurt her sister.
Then the note arrives, addressed to Tasha:
It was supposed to be you . . .

Then She Vanishes

Jess and Heather were once best friends – until the night Heather’s sister Flora vanished. The night that lies tore their friendship apart.

But years later, when a brutal double murder shakes their childhood town, Jess returns home.

Because the suspect is Heather.
