Lucy Atkins worked as a journalist and wrote five non-fiction books on parenting and health between 2005 and 2013 before publishing her first novel, The Missing One, in 2014. Her fiction career took off with a string of psychological thrillers set in English locations, each built around secrets and unreliable narrators.

The Night Visitor (2017) and Magpie Lane (2020) are among her most acclaimed novels, with Magpie Lane drawing on the enclosed world of Oxford’s colleges for its atmosphere. Windmill Hill (2023) continued her run of domestic suspense. Atkins brings a journalist’s eye for detail to her fiction, grounding her stories in specific places and social dynamics.
