edit data

Gillian Newens writes atmospheric thrillers about the people pushed to the edge—often women, always complex. Her Forty-Five Minute series blends memory, mystery, and time pressure in tightly-wound narratives where each second counts and the past casts a long shadow.

She is drawn to quiet places that hold dark secrets, and to characters who refuse to stay silent. Her stories are rooted in North Wales but resonate far beyond, exploring what we forget, what we bury, and what refuses to stay hidden.
