Today is hardback publication day of A Patient Fury. There’s nothing like having a physical book in your hands and it was very exciting to open the box sent to me by my publishers, Faber and Faber. A Patient Fury is the story of a deadly house fire in Derbyshire and a mother believed responsible for killing her entire family. However, there appears to be fourth figure in the shadows. Could the disappearance of Elizabeth Winson in 1980 have anything to do the murder of her husband’s new family?
To celebrate, I’m giving away two hardback sets of my books: one for a UK reader and the other for a reader outside the UK.

It’s a close call, I do like Stuart MacBride & Ian Rankin but quite partial to Ann Cleeves books too!
Other than you of course, it’s probably Martin Edwards!
Although I love a lot of the current crime authors I ahve to admit that Agatha Christie is my ‘comfort read’.
There are just so many it’s like asking me to pick my favourite child! I am a big fan of Laura Wilson but there are so many more I love!
Agatha Christie will always have a special place in my heart, but I also love Ann Cleeves – especially her Vera series
Good characters and plots in these books
You make this so hard! I’m going to say Elly Griffiths 📚
The obvious answer should be you, but I do love PD James ( who doesn’t?) and Peter Robinson. Though I know he lives here in Canada now, I think of him as British because of his roots and his books’ settings.
Hi Sarah, thanks for the giveaway…my favourite would be Agatha Christie. I recall coming to the UK, 10 years ago, as a young bride on a cold winter evening, settling into an unknown life. Christie’s Poirot kept me company on many a winter evening….and instilled a love for British crime writing! 🙂
Agatha Christie – vintage and James Oswald-modern. Haven’t had a chance to read any of your books yet Sarah, maybe you’ll be my new favorite😉
I think might have to be Reginald Hill. I love his Dalziel and Pascoe books and his standalones. I think(!) I’ve managed to track down copies of everything he wrote, including all the ones under pseudonyms. Long live Captain Fantom!
Angela Marsons just discovered her
Difficult one as there are so many but I would have to say the Queen of Crime Agatha Christie who opened the door for me to a whole world of crime fiction.
So many choices!! Possibly Enid Blyton as her writing got me hooked on reading!
My favorite british author is M.J. Alridge.
Competition for ‘A Patient Fury’
My favourite British crime-writer author is Anthea Fraser.
