She won the John Llewellyn-Rhys/Mil on Sunday award for Best Writer Under 35 for her first book, Motel Nirvana. She has published three Arctic mysteries featuring the Inuit detective Edie Kiglatuk under the name MJ McGrath, the first of which, The Boy in the Snow, was shortlisted for a CWA Gold Dagger. In the last year she has been one of the founders and moving lights of the website Killer Women, which has rapidly established itself as one of the key forums for crime writing in the UK. • 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. • t 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.
