The Screenwriter is the latest release from author Amanda Reynolds. Amanda is the bestselling author of psychological suspense whose debut novel, Close To Me, was adapted as a major six-part TV series for Channel 4 in 2021. 

Every screenwriter knows the best stories come from the truth…

But the truth can be terrifying

Marnie thought she’d left behind her days of writing ‘celebrity’ tell-all memoirs, but when her big break as a screenwriter turns to dust she’s forced to take another ghost writing job.

Except this time it’s for someone who is actually famous. Or rather, infamous. Blythe Hopper. A reclusive former Hollywood star who recently murdered her screenwriter husband.

And Marnie has her own reasons for wanting to meet Blythe, not least because of an email she received from Blythe’s husband, sent two days after he was shot dead.

But Marnie soon learns Blythe is not a woman to be messed with.

Dark secrets lurk at the Hoppers’ palatial London home – secrets long buried, which Marnie is determined to unearth. At any price.

Because this isn’t just about Blythe’s past.

It’s about Marnie’s too.

The Screenwriter is one of our favourite books we have read so far this year. It’s got all the glamour of Hollywood combined with a deliciously dark and twisted mystery that keeps you guessing. Marnie as the narrator is either a character you will love or hate, there is no in between with her, it’s a testament to Amanda’s skill as a writer that she can make you feel so strongly about a character.
