Rona is the #1 best selling author of twisty psychological thrillers and loves to create mayhem in her characters' lives to keep her readers guessing. She lives halfway up a mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales with her three dogs - Maid, Evie and Sandy who are the writing support team.

She is an outdoorsy person, who loves nothing better than stomping up a mountain, and wandering round forests and woodlands while she's plotting her next book. Outside is where the ideas are!

The peak of her writing career was being short-listed for the International Thriller Writers Awards 2024, for THE BIGAMIST. The translation was also shortlisted for an award in Holland.

For the latest news and information on all her books you can check out her website: https

“What happened to teenagers? It was the weirdest thing. One minute they were all cuddly children wanting attention, the next it was like you had just stepped out of the grave and they couldn’t get away from you fast enough.”
Rona Halsall, One Mistake

“This was her world, where she'd felt safe bringing up a family, but she had a horrible feeling the past was about to repeat itself, rupturing the life she'd crafted, and there wasn't a thing she could do to stop it”
Rona Halsall, One Mistake

“Information is power, she thought as she walked away. And everyone needs an insurance policy, don't they?”
Rona Halsall, One Mistake

“A map says to you.
Read me carefully, follow me closely, doubt me not...
I am the earth in the palm of your hand.”
Beryl Markham
