Jane Lythell

Greetings dear reader, I grew up in a small seaside town in Norfolk; went to university in London and lived there for three decades. I now live in St Albans. I write psychological thrillers because I’m fascinated by what drives people to do extreme things. My most recent novel is THE EXES published by Bloodhound Books. THE LIE OF YOU and AFTER THE STORM explore obsessive behaviour and were both USA Today bestsellers. THE LIE OF YOU is now a film, A WORKING MOM’S NIGHTMARE, starring Tuppence Middleton and screening on Lifetime Movies in the USA. Before writing full-time I worked as a TV producer, was Deputy Director of the British Film Institute and then Chief Executive of BAFTA, followed by seven years at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. My third novel, WOMAN OF THE HOUR, reveals toxic goings in a TV station told through the eyes of producer Liz Lyon. It’s a stand-alone read but there is a follow-up novel, BEHIND HER BACK, which features the same TV station setting and characters. My agent is Gaia Banks of Sheil Land.
