About this Event

Bestselling author Clare Mackintosh joins us to launch her latest gripping psychological thriller, It’s Not What You Think.

‘A nail-biter of a thriller‘ – SHARI LAPENA

Drawing on her experience as a former police officer, It’s Not What You Think is a gripping domestic drama. Clare will be giving us an insight into the inspiration behind her fast-paced plots, brilliant characters and the big twists her books deliver.

‘I always see twists coming – but not this time’ – LEE CHILD

Following the interview, Clare will be signing copies of her books.

‘This book is so addictive it should come with a warning’ – ALICE FEENEY

Clare spent twelve years in the UK police force, including time in CID, leaving to work as a freelance journalist. She now writes full time. Clare’s debut I Let You Go was the fastest-selling title by a new crime writer in 2015 and won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.

Clare’s other books include Other People’s Houses, Game of Lies and Hostage.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE

Nadeeka is certain Jamie is having an affair. She knows the tell-tale signs. She’s been here before.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHO YOU CAN TRUST

When Jamie claims to be at work late, she knows he’s lying. He’s with another woman, and she’s determined to catch him in the act.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW THE STORY ENDS
But when Nadeeka arrives home to confront him, Jamie can’t explain himself. The house has become a crime scene… Jamie is dead.
