Having always been fascinated with the dark and macabre, Sam Holland’s love of reading was forged in the library through Stephen King, Dean Koontz and James Herbert. A self-confessed serial killer nerd, Holland studied psychology at university then spent the next few years working in HR, before quitting for a full-time career in writing. The Echo Man is the result.

Sam Holland recommends
Silent Waters (2023)
L V Matthews
"With a captivating cast of characters - some I loved to hate! - I thoroughly enjoyed this dip into the murky world of police diving. Utterly compelling."
The Contest (2023)
Karen Hamilton
"More twists and turns than a Kilimanjaro path, The Contest is the ultimate book for this summer. Secrets and lies, deception and double crossing, you wouldn't want these characters to buy you a drink, let alone join you for a climb up a mountain."
Freeze (2023)
Kate Simants
"Biting and atmospheric, Freeze is the ultimate locked-room mystery, where the breathless intensity increases as the temperature plummets. Frostbite-inducingly chilling!"
The Devil Takes You Home (2022)
Gabino Iglesias
"A dark and disturbing tunnel into another world, Iglesias deftly walks the line between beautiful and haunting. A tense and unapologetic story, I devoured this in a weekend, my eyes widening with every unflinching word."
All Good People Here (2022)
Ashley Flowers
"Small town America, a missing girl. A journalist determined to find the truth. The author's true crime background comes into its own with this tightly-wound novel, as unravelling events feel believable and characters authentic. Deftly interlocked strands of the story tantalisingly unravel as we are led to the original and unexpected conclusion. Taut and tense, a great read!"
Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022)
Victoria Selman
"A tantalising slow-burn of a read, exploring the experience of loving a killer."
