Elizabeth Haynes is a former police intelligence analyst who lives in Norfolk with her husband and son. Her first novel, Into the Darkest Corner, was Amazon’s Best Book of the Year 2011 and a New York Times bestseller. Now published in 37 countries, it was originally written as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), an online challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. She has written a further three psychological thrillers – Revenge of the Tide, Human Remains and Never Alone – and two novels in the DCI Louisa Smith series, Under a Silent Moon and Behind Closed Doors. Next came her highly praised historical novel The Murder of Harriet Monckton (a Sunday Times Summer Read) which is based on the 1843 unsolved murder of a young school teacher in Bromley, Kent. Elizabeth’s latest novel, You, Me and the Sea is a contemporary story of love and redemption set on a remote, windswept Scottish island.
This is escapism in the best possible way. You, Me & the Sea is such an immersive, affecting novel - I absolutely loved it! Escaping to the island setting was utter bliss. I can't tell you how much happiness the descriptions of the sea, the sky and landscape brought me. The love story is beautiful, I cared so much about both of them. This book gave me a huge amount of comfort at a very tricky time. MARIAN KEYES
