The Screenwriter: The BRAND NEW gripping psychological thriller from bestseller Amanda Reynolds, author of Close to Me - now a major TV series

'Fascinating, flawed characters, an intriguing plot, a steamy heatwave setting and ooh - that ending! Loved it.' Jackie KablerEvery screenwriter knows the best stories come from the truth… But the truth can be terrifying Marnie thought she’d left behind her days of writing ‘celebrity’ tell-all memoirs, but when her big break as a screenwriter turns to dust she’s forced to take another ghost writing job. Except this time it’s for someone who is actually famous. Or rather, infamous. Blythe Hopper. A reclusive former Hollywood star who recently murdered her screenwriter husband. And Marnie has her own reasons for wanting to meet Blythe, not least because of an email she received from Blythe's husband, sent two days after he was shot dead. But Marnie soon learns Blythe is not a woman to be messed with. Dark secrets lurk at the Hoppers’ palatial London home – secrets long buried, which Marnie is determined to unearth. At any price. Because this isn’t just about Blythe’s past. It’s about Marnie’s too. '...a clever and timely tale of ambition and revenge, with complex but compelling characters... Amanda Reynolds is such a vivid and visual writer, I am sure this will make it onto our screens.' Jo Callaghan 'A luxurious mansion falling into disrepair, a glamorous Hollywood star facing a murder charge, and an ambitious writer with secrets of her own ... the perfect set-up for a completely gripping, deliciously dark thriller.'
