Roxie Key

I’m a crime thriller author from Northampton, where I live with my wife Laura and daughter Hallie.

I’ve always been a writer… although the stories I wrote as a child about my pets will never see the light of day, I knew from a young age that one day I wanted to see my name on a book cover. I studied Creative & Media Writing at Middlesex University and then went on to become a copywriter for a global brand, before stepping into the world of freelance writing.

I’m represented by the always brilliant Maddalena Cavaciuti at David Higham Associates. My debut novel, The Deadly Spark, is out now in the UK, US and Canada! This dark, compelling crime novel is about the fallout after a deadly house fire, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Jane Casey and Clare Mackintosh.

When I’m not writing, I can usually be found swimming, reading or gaming.
