About the Author

Gytha Lodge is a multi-award-winning playwright, novelist and writer for video games. She is also a single parent who blogs about the ridiculousness of bringing up a mega-nerd small boy.

She later took the Creative Writing MA at UEA. Her debut crime novel, She Lies in Wait, has been published by Penguin Random House in the US and UK, and has also been translated into 12 other languages. It became an international bestseller in 2019, and was a Richard and Judy book club pick, as well as a Sunday Times and New York Times crime pick.
