Barbara Copperthwaite

Barbara Copperthwaite is the author of psychological thrillers Invisible, Flowers for the Dead, and The Darkest Lies. Her latest book is Her Last Secret. Much of her success is thanks to her twenty-odd years' experience as a national newspaper and magazine journalist. She's interviewed the real victims of crime—and also those who have carried those crimes out. Thanks to people sharing their stories with her, she knows the emotional impact of violence and wrong-doing. That's why her novels are dark, realistic and tackle not just the crime but its repercussions.
