A mystery, an unsolved crime and one of the most unforgettable characters since Mark Haddon's Christopher. Meet Maud. . .
Emma Healey grew up in London and completed her first degree in bookbinding. She then worked for libraries, bookshops, art galleries and universities before studying for the MA in Creative Writing at UEA in 2010. She is the author of Whistle in the Dark, and Elizabeth is Missing, which was a Sunday Times Bestseller, won the Costa First Novel Award 2014, and was made into a BBC film starring Glenda Jackson. She lives in Norwich with her husband, daughter and cat, and regularly volunteers for Vision Norfolk with a group of visually impaired, and incredibly imaginative, creative writers.
The novel is both a gripping detective yarn and a haunting
depiction of mental illness, but also more poignant and blackly
comic than you might expect from that description... perhaps
Healey's greatest achievement is the flawless voice she creates for
Maud.
