Louise Candlish is the award-winning Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of 18 novels. Her latest release A Neighbour's Guide to Murder is a slow-burn psychological thriller about an age-gap friendship between neighbours that escalates to scandal and murder. It is an instant Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller and a WHSmith Travel Book Club pick. It is out now in the US and Canada.
Her previous release, Our Holiday, set among second-home owners on the English south coast, was a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller, a Richard & Judy Book Club pick and a Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year 2025 nominee. Louise's TV brand is soaring: following her smash-hit four-part adaptation of Our House for ITV, starring Martin Compston and Tuppence Middleton, filming is now complete on two more series: a four-part ITV adaptation of The Only Suspect starring Kevin McKidd and a six-part Channel 5/Fox adaptation of The Heights starring Anna Friel. More books are in development. Louise lives in a South London neighbourhood not unlike the ones featured in her books, with her husband, daughter, and a fox-red Labrador called Bertie, who is the apple of her eye. Authors who inspire her include Tom Wolfe, Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine and Agatha Christie.
