The Crime Writer is the latest novel from bestselling author Diana Jeffrey.
2019. 34 year-old Leona Walsh vanishes on a bitter afternoon while jogging on Exmoor. It’s a mystery which captures public interest and ignites wild speculation. The police have a prime suspect: Leona’s husband, Matthew, a renowned crime writer. He can plot the perfect crime. But is he capable of committing the perfect murder?
Despite extensive searches, the police find no trace of Leona. As public interest dwindles, Matthew returns to raising their daughters, aware the cloud of suspicion is never far away.
2024. Some human bones are discovered in a garden. Could they be Leona’s remains? And if so, is there enough evidence to find out what really happened five years ago?
Journalist Gabriela Conti covered the news story back in 2019. The police may have stopped watching Matthew, but Gabriela hasn’t forgotten him. And she is determined this case will define her career… even if that means getting close to a murderer.
Diane Jeffrey’s The Crime Writer is the kind of psychological thriller that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go until the final, jaw-dropping twist. If you love a story dripping with suspense, tangled with secrets, and laced with enough red herrings to keep you second-guessing, this book delivers in spades.
It masterfully alternates between past and present, weaving a narrative filled with unreliable characters, a haunting atmosphere, and that simmering tension that makes for one more chapter… oops, it’s 2 AM kind of read. The pacing is razor-sharp, and the psychological depth keeps you hooked.
Fans of domestic noir, true crime vibes, and complex characters with hidden agendas will eat this up. The Crime Writer isn’t just a book—it’s an experience, a dark, twisty ride that keeps you questioning who to trust until the very last page.
