Angela Marsons

Angela Marsons lives in the Black Country with her partner, a bouncy Labrador and a swearing parrot.

She first discovered her love of writing at Junior School when actual lessons came second to watching other people and quietly making up her own stories about them. Her report card invariably read "Angela would do well if she minded her own business as well as she minds other people's".

After years of writing relationship based stories, Angela turned to Crime, fictionally speaking of course, and developed a character that refused to go away.

Angela Marsons recommends

Until Death (2023)
(DS Mumtaz Ali, book 1)
Alex Khan
"Brilliantly original."

The Running Girls (2023)
Matt Brolly
"Did not move from my Kindle until I'd devoured it. Twisty, turny, and full of action, which had my heart racing. Definite five stars from me."

An Eye for an Eye (2021)
(Detective Kate Young, book 1)
Carol Wyer
"This was one thrilling ride full of tension and twists."

Good Girl (2020)
(DS Grace Allendale, book 4)
Mel Sherratt
"An absolute masterpiece."

I Made a Mistake (2020)
Jane Corry
"Absolutely brilliant...full of twists and turns that left me positively breathless."

Perfect Kill (2020)
(DI Callanach, book 6)
Helen Fields
"Compelling, breathtaking and a tense ride from that unbelievable opening scene right to the last word. Brilliant!"

The House Guest (2020)
Mark Edwards
"Tense, atmospheric, and full of twists and turns right up until the last page."

Dead Inside (2019)
(Maggie Jamieson, book 1)
Noelle Holten
"Kept me hooked throughout … excellent pace and a very satisfying ending."

On My Life (2019)
Angela Clarke
"Compelling, intense, and breathtakingly brilliant."

I'll Find You (2019)
Liz Lawler
"Outstanding . . . a rollercoaster of a read."

Into The Silent Sea (2018)
Claire Stibbe
"A dark, masterful, compelling story of obsession with great characterization that had me turning the pages at speed!"

Truth and Lies (2018)
(Detective Amy Winter, book 1)
Caroline Mitchell
"This book had everything—an excellent police procedural with tension, pace, and compelling storyline but with the added psychological element. I was captivated from the very first word."

First to Die (2018)
(DCI Kate Riley and Zain Harris, book 2)
Alex Caan
"Left me positively breathless."

The Sixth Window (2017)
(DI Tom Douglas, book 6)
Rachel Abbott
"I have spent two days completely immersed in this twisty turny story and recently emerged breathless. Never in doubt was the skill this author has to captivate me with her complex, dark storylines and masterful character studies but the tension that built throughout this book simply blew me away. DCI Tom Douglas is a particular favourite of mine as well as his trusty aide Becky. I love the relationship between these two characters. I loved the exploration from the different viewpoints and developed a particular soft spot for Scarlett, a fifteen year old girl trying to find her way without her deceased father.At 50% my head was darting in so many different directions due to this author's skill at consistently blindsiding me and adding yet more psychological twists and thrilling turns that sent me off in a completely different direction. None of my theories were correct and I was left open-mouthed as the final pieces slotted into place. Incredibly skilfully woven tale of loss, deceit, jealousy and love set against the backdrop of a difficult subject with the highest amount of sensitivity. A definite 5* read from me."

Scared to Death (2016)
(Detective Kay Hunter, book 1)
Rachel Amphlett
"Moves along at breakneck speed with twists and turns."
