edit data

Cynthia Murphy is the bestselling author of a number of YA thrillers, including the BookTok sensation Win Lose Kill Die.

She has a long-standing love affair with all things scary, reading Point Horrors before graduating to Stephen King in her misguided teens. Studying for a degree in Art History and Archaeology meant that she developed a thirst for anything old, beautiful and very often dead. She tries to combine this with contemporary settings in her writing to make unique and chilling modern stories.

Cynthia lives in her hometown of Manchester with her husband and their rescue dog, Loli, who you will see a lot of on TikTok and Instagram @CynthiaMurphyYA

Cynthia Murphy answered giorgia's question: any advice for aspiring mystery writers? Watch and read lots of mysteries to see how they unfold and which plot twists you prefer! I love when I don't see a twist coming and go back to look for the clues, but I also love finding clues and figuring out what's going to happen.
