ⓘ About Chris Whitaker

Author Chris Whitaker worked in the city of London (the city that he was born in) for ten years as a financial trader. Chris Whitaker’s debut novel “Tall Oaks” made the shortlist for the Last Laugh Award and CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger. It was also one of Guardian’s crime book of the month, BuzzFeed’s brilliant summer reads, and Crime Time’s top 100 books of the year in 2016. As a writer, he does not plan the back story, but does know where characters are heading. How they get to this destination, changes throughout the writing process. The inspiration for “Tall Oaks” came from his love of stories (both books and television series) set in small town, USA.
