The spine-tingling new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author ofThe Chalk Man.
C. J. Tudor's love of writing, especially the dark and macabre,
started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was
devouring Stephen King and James Herbert. Over the years she has
had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio
scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover, television presenter and
copywriter.
She is now the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man,
The Taking of Annie Thorne, The Other People, The Burning Girls,
The Drift and The Gathering. All of her books are in development or
optioned for TV. The Burning Girls debuted on Paramount Plus in
2023 and is now available on Netflix. She is also the author of a
short story collection, A Sliver of Darkness.
Some writers have it, and some don't. C. J. Tudor has it big time .
. . The Taking of Annie Thorne is terrific in every way
*Lee Child*
Confirms Tudor as Britain's female Stephen King. There is a
creeping dread on every page and, as you start a new chapter, a
dark shadow over your shoulder. Tudor's punk prose style and her
great eye for menace make this a book no one should read at
night.
*Daily Mail*
There is no sign of second-album syndrome: the mix of grotty
provincial realism and amateur cold-case sleuthing works just as
well here
*The Sunday Times*
As enjoyable and well written as her first, The Chalk Man
*Daily Mirror*
Dark, gothic and utterly compelling, The Taking of Annie Thorne
pulls off a rare combination - an atmosphere of unsettling evil
along with richly nuanced characterisation
*J. P. Delaney, bestselling author of The Girl Before*
Tudor's 2018 The Chalk Man was a standout mystery novel with a
fresh voice and a spooky plot. This is even better
*Washington Post*
Shows that her excellent The Chalk Man was no one-off in matching
Stephen King for creepiness
*Sunday Express's Bestseller Predictions 2019*
From the author of The Chalk Man comes an equally creepy story
about missing children
*Woman & Home*
Spine-tingling
*Sunday Post*
Spine tinglingly good
*Amy Lloyd, bestselling author of The Innocent Wife*
