Sam Lloyd grew up in Hampshire, where he learned his love of storytelling. These days he lives in Surrey with his wife, three young sons and a dog that likes to howl. His first three thrillers, The Memory Wood, The Rising Tide and The People Watcher were published to great critical acclaim.
PRAISE FOR THE PEOPLE WATCHER * : * A propulsive, sinister, gripping tale about the dark side of human nature that is hard to put down. * Alex Michaelides * Original, creepy and devastatingly clever. I raced through The People Watcher yet didn't want it to end. Utterly addictive. I loved it! * Andrea Mara * Deftly plotted and deliciously twisty, this character-led thriller is a step outside the rest * Heat * 'Absorbing and richly detailed, a novel with real heart.' * LISA BALLANTYNE, Richard & Judy book club bestselling author of The Guilty One * 'A taut and immersive story about a troubled, complex but ultimately enchanting character. Twisty and dark as the night itself, it is beautifully written, compulsive and impossible to put down. A triumph.' * Neil Lancaster * Another corker from the author of The Memory Wood * SAGA magazine * An unsettling thriller * Woman & Home * This is Sam Lloyd's third novel, though the plotting and characterisation show the sure touch of a veteran. This marks him out as one of the authors to watch over the next few years * SHOTS * Such a brilliant read with such well drawn characters – I loved it * Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party *
