Hello there!
I write dark and twisted psychological thrillers about toxic relationships and deeply buried secrets. My first two novels, Your Truth or Mine? and Can You See Me Now? were published by Pan Macmillan.
My next novel, The Inheritance, will be published by Penguin Random House in January 2025.
Most family holidays end in tears.
This one will end in murder…
On a private island off the west coast of Scotland, the Agarwals gather for a much-awaited family reunion…
Raj, the patriarch and business tycoon, who has six weeks to decide how to split his petrochemicals empire between his three children.
Shalini, the fragile mother, who longs to see her family healed.
Myra, the eldest daughter and golden child, who, unbeknownst to the family, is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Aseem, the son and supposed heir, who must choose between his wife and his family.
Aisha, the fun-loving youngest daughter, who is tired of being treated like a child.
And Zoe, the outsider whose #Instaperfect life is built on a foundation of lies.
They’ve all got secrets that they would die to protect. But only one of them is capable of murder.
Some secrets can’t stay buried…
Fifteen years ago, three sixteen-year-old girls meet at Wescott, an exclusive private school in India. Two, Sabah and Noor, are the most popular girls in their year. One, Alia, is a new arrival from England, who feels her happiness depends on their acceptance.
Before she knows it, Sabah and Noor's intoxicating world of privilege and intimacy opens up to Alia and, for the first time, after years of neglect from her parents, she feels she is exactly where, and with whom, she belongs.
But with intimacy comes jealousy, and with privilege, resentment, and Alia finds that it only takes one night for her bright new world to shatter around her. Now Alia, a cabinet minister in the Indian government, is about to find her secrets have no intention of staying buried . . .
Can their marriage survive the dark secrets they keep from one another?
At their wedding Mia and Roy Kapoor promised to love and cherish each other.
Whilst not perfect, their marriage is sacred and their commitment absolute.
But a knock at the door changes everything when Roy is questioned over the disappearance of a young woman.
As Roy and Mia’s life unravels, they must question everything they know about each other if their marriage is to survive.
But what if the real truth is not what they, or you, think?
