Sarah Hilary made a strong entry into crime fiction with Someone Else’s Skin (2014), the first in the DI Marnie Rome series. The book won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, and Hilary followed it with five more Marnie Rome procedurals through 2019, building a series known for tackling difficult social issues through the framework of police investigation.
Her standalone novels, beginning with Fragile (2021), show a shift toward psychological suspense. Black Thorn (2023) and Sharp Glass (2024) continue in this direction, exploring dark domestic situations without the procedural structure of the Marnie Rome books. Her early anthology contributions Pangea and Apeshit predate her novel career.
