It also won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year in 2016.

Both Mackintosh’s second and third novels, I See You and Let Me Lie, were number one Sunday Times bestsellers. All three of her books were selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club.

Mackintosh’s latest novel is After the End.
