ⓘ About Barbara Copperthwaite

At the beginning of her working career, Barbara also worked in a men’s maximum security prison. It was there that her fascination with crime started, as she realized that bad guys do not always seem so bad, and can often be charming. Interviewing actual people that have been victims of crime, either directly or through the loss of loved ones, consolidated her interest in crime. And as a result, she knows quite a lot about the emotional impact of wrongdoing and violence. That is why her books are not just about the criminal act, but the consequences that they have. People are always at the heart of her thrillers, along with a genuine ability to get under the skin of even the most evil of characters.
