The islands' secrets run deeper than the sea...

Kate Rhodes is a bestselling British crime writer. Her latest books are the acclaimed Isles of Scilly mysteries. Kate has been passionate about the islands since holidaying there as a child, and still returns regularly to research her books. Kate has been nominated for the Crime Novel of the Year award, and twice for the Library Dagger award.

She wrote The Stalker (2024) a standalone psychologist crime novel, and the brilliant Alice Quentin series, featuring a forensic psychologist working on murder cases in London and also works part-time as a Creative Writing Fellow at Cambridge University.

Her work is described as "dark, intense, and expertly crafted" and "an absolute master of pace, plotting and character."
