Emma Styles writes contemporary Australian noir about young women taking on the patriarchy. She grew up on Whadjuk Noongar Country in Perth, Western Australia and now lives in London where she was born. Emma loves a road trip and once sat out a cyclone on the north west coast of WA in a LandCruiser Troop Carrier. She is less afraid of great white sharks than she should be, and hopeless at surfing.
Emma has an MA in crime fiction from the University of East Anglia. Her debut novel, No Country for Girls, won the Little, Brown UEA Crime Fiction Award in 2020 and will be published by Sphere in the UK in July 2022, and by Hachette in Australia and New Zealand in September.

Emma Styles recommends
Killer Twist (2026)
Jo Furniss
"Laugh out loud crime writing antics with an expertly plotted sting in the tail, Jo Furniss has publishing bang to rights in Killer Twist. Razor-sharp and on the money, every crime writer will wish they'd written this, and want a life-size cardboard cutout of themselves on the festival circuit this summer."
The Reunion (2025)
Bronwyn Rivers
"I flew through The Reunion. This sinister and original take on a locked-room mystery makes exceptional use of its remote bush setting and dual timelines. I could hear the cicadas and see every gum leaf. An unputdownable debut that kept me guessing until the final page."
Into the Flames (2024)
James Delargy
"A claustrophobic and tightly-plotted mystery unfolding beneath the breathless breaking wave of a bushfire. This vividly-realised rural crime thriller keeps you guessing until the very last page. Another excellent Australian noir from James Delargy."
