Before I Say I Do is a psychological thriller.

It follows the case of a groom who goes missing on the morning of his wedding day. While Julia Talbot knows something terrible must have happened to her fiancée, DC Alana Loxton is less convinced. But then a body washes up on the shores of the Thames wearing the missing man’s watch.

Before I Say I Do introduces “a host of brilliant new characters” and features insight into detective work that only an expert could provide.

A well-plotted page turner that gripped me from start to finish. Twisty, unpredictable and certain to be a commercial hit.

A sure-fire hit. A cracking thriller which was difficult to put down. Vicki has a great future, I’m sure.
