My new psychological thriller, I Know What I Saw, is out today.
This one is dark, tense, and set right here in Lancashire. If you enjoy domestic noir and British psychological suspense with a sharp, realistic edge, I think you’ll love it.
The story
“Mum, I saw Dad kill Kevin Jacobs.”
Seven words that shatter a family.
Vicky McKeating wants to believe her husband is innocent. Her daughter, Hannah, won’t back down. As gossip spreads along Agnew Street and police cars arrive at the entrance to Serpentine Walk, the question becomes impossible to ignore.
Who is telling the truth?
Set in the quiet seaside town of Lytham, I Know What I Saw explores family loyalty, small-town suspicion, and the lies we tell to protect the people we love.

Why this book matters to me
This story began with a single image: a teenage girl standing in a kitchen, calmly telling her mother she’s witnessed a murder. From that moment, I wanted to write about how truth can fracture even the closest families, and how a small community can turn claustrophobic when everyone’s watching.
Lytham, with its neat red-brick terraces and quiet respectability, became the perfect setting. I walked the real Agnew Street and Serpentine Walk while writing it, soaking up the atmosphere that eventually made its way into every scene.
