Gillian McAllister Bio

Hello there! As you find me, it’s winter 2025 and my new novel is Famous Last Words, a thriller with a marriage at its centre. It asks the question: what would you do if your husband is caught up in a siege in central London? Only, the police tell you he isn’t one of the hostages: he is the gunman… I hope you like the answer!

As to me, otherwise, I am the author of these novels: Everything But The Truth (2017) Anything You Do Say (2018) called The Choice in America No Further Questions (2018) called The Good Sister in America The Evidence Against You (2019) How To Disappear (2020) That Night (2021) Wrong Place Wrong Time (2022) Just Another Missing Person (2023) Famous Last Words (2025)

My most popular novel is probably Wrong Place Wrong Time, which was selected for the Radio 2 book club and was the Reese’s Book Club August ’22 pick. It debuted at number 4 on the Sunday Times Bestseller List and number 2 on the New York Times Bestseller List. When not writing (which is basically never), I can be found walking my dog Wendy and parenting my small toddler.

The best moments of my day always are the first sip of my coffee, the moment I step into the bath at night, and my son telling me he loves me. And that rare thing that happens only once a year – a novel idea.
