Rachel Abbott
Rachel Abbott was born just outside Manchester, England. She spent most of her working life as the Managing Director of an interactive media company, developing software and websites for the education market. The sale of that business enabled her to fulfil one of her lifelong ambitions - to buy and restore a property in Italy.
Rachel lives full time in the completed property with her husband and two dogs, and is now able to devote time to her other passion - writing fiction.

Rachel Abbott recommends
Gray Justice (2011)
(Tom Gray, book 1)
Alan McDermott
"This is an ingenious plot, with some surprising but well thought out twists and turns. The pace is fast, and all aspects of the book appear to be well researched - so much so that you might wonder if the author had himself been a member of the SAS. Gritty and brutal in places, McDermott paints very strong visual images throughout the story. I loved the idea of Tom Gray being more than just your average vigilante..."
From the Shadows (2017)
(Dan Grant and Jayne Brett, book 1)
Neil White
"A tense and exciting crime thriller."
Hell Bay (2018)
(DI Ben Kitto, book 1)
Kate Rhodes
"The pace never slackens from the first page to the last."
The Craftsman (2018)
(Craftsman Trilogy, book 1)
Sharon Bolton
"The Craftsman is one of those rare books that hooked me on page one, and didn't let go until the final sentence. Engaging, compulsive reading. Sharon Bolton at her best."
Friends Like These (2018)
Sarah Alderson
"With FRIENDS LIKE THESE, Sarah Alderson has created a fascinating female monster. This cleverly plotted, well written book kept me engaged to the last page."
To Catch a Killer (2019)
Emma Kavanagh
"To Catch A Killer is one of my favourite books of the year. The intricate, clever story is told well, and the characters are brilliantly drawn."
Blood Orange (2019)
Harriet Tyce
"This brilliant debut from Harriet Tyce has it all - a tricky murder case, a complex and conflicted female barrister battling her own demons, and layer upon layer of intrigue as Blood Orange flows towards its breath-taking ending."
You Can Trust Me (2019)
Emma Rowley
"Emma Rowley has created a nightmare scenario which is all too plausible."
Nine Elms (2019)
(Kate Marshall, book 1)
Robert Bryndza
"So chilling, with truly terrifying characters and a hard-hitting storyline that is gripping from start to finish. I will wait with bated breath for the next Kate Marshall thriller."
Buried (2020)
(DC Jack Warr, book 1)
Lynda La Plante
"A compelling, clever plot with a brilliant cast of diverse characters. Utterly riveting."
Shiver (2021)
Allie Reynolds
"In Shiver, Allie Reynolds manages to combine the excitement of a clever, compelling story with all the thrills of competitive snowboarding. I loved it."
