Sarah Hilary’s standalone novels shift from police procedural to psychological suspense, placing characters in situations where the danger comes from the people closest to them. Fragile (2021) explores the power dynamics within a household, while Black Thorn (2023) and Sharp Glass (2024) continue examining the violence that can hide behind closed doors.
The books share the unflinching quality of the Marnie Rome series but trade the detective’s external perspective for something more claustrophobic and personal.
