I pride myself on the fact my 4 books are all different to what's out there -
Here Chloe confirms the unique concept in my locked gym thriller Killer Bodies.
Check it out!
Book Four: Killer Bodies by Heleen Kist
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A unique concept, don't think I've read a "locked room mystery" quite like this one! The characters are all very quirky. It's really dark, and very inventive.
Look forward to discussing with #TheJASClub

THE EX I BURIED is out TODAY and it was so much fun to write 💀✨️
Imagine attending your ex-boyfriend's funeral, who you've not seen in 10 yrs, and being accused of his death.
Gossip, lies, old scars and new secrets, this claustrophobic Christmas thriller is my twistiest yet!

You might not be able to get The Silent Killer in Poundshop but you can get it for just 99p for a short while. Either that or you could buy a small box of matches. But only one of them will fire you up* Check it out here: amazon.co.uk/Silent-Killer-D… (*It's not the matches)
Reading this now!
#TheTroubledDeep is out a month today! How on earth has that happened?
Can't wait for readers to meet Cam and Nala, and see what horrors are lurking...
Preorder links here - thanks for everything!

Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.
