Two Wrongs

‘Meticulously plotted and UTTERLY chilling – everything you want from a contemporary thriller’ PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train

One girl jumped.
And then another followed…

In the city of Bristol, young women are dying in mysterious circumstances. The deaths look like suicides – but are they something more sinister?

Honor is terrified that her daughter might be next. But as she looks for clues as to what really happened to the girls, she stumbles upon a link to a dark secret in her own past – one that she’s kept from her daughter.

Now Honor has the chance to avenge her child for the terrible events of years ago. But how far will she go to protect her daughter and right the wrongs done to her family?

Dark, clever and thought-provoking, TWO WRONGS is the breathless new thriller from bestselling author Mel McGrath – perfect for fans of Erin Kelly, Ruth Ware and Sarah Vaughan.

• Another standalone thriller from Mel McGrath.

• GIVE ME THE CHILD has sold close to 100k across formats, hit the Kindle Top 40 in the UK, #4 on Kobo, held the #3 position on iBooks for over a fortnight and reached #4 on Amazon Australia.

• THE GUILTY PARTY received a wealth of critical acclaim, hit the Kindle Top 40, and was #1 in the Bookseller Heatseeker chart for three weeks running

• TWO WRONGS raises the compelling dilemma of whether you would tell your adopted child the truth about where they came from if those circumstances were traumatic.

• It has a backstory of institutional cover-ups of sexual assault, very topical in the wake of the ever-growing #MeToo movement and something Mel can speak to with authority having blown the whistle on sexual harassment while she was at Oxford (the novel’s case will be entirely fictionalized).

• It will be as much a pacey thriller as a perceptive look at sexual abuse and cover-ups: a twist half-way through will raise the question of whether a suicide was in fact an attempted murder…

• Mel’s novels are the definition of book club thrillers – hitting the sweet spot between pacey and high-drama but having thought-provoking and topical issues at their heart. Upmarket enough for Waterstones, indies and broadsheet coverage; hooky enough for the supermarkets.

• Mel is exceptionally well-connected among the crime community, in part as a result of her being the co-founder of Killer Women, who run a Crime festival and mentorship scheme.
