Author bio
Keri Beevis is a British crime and psychological thriller writer whose stories blend police investigations with eerie domestic suspense. Born and raised in Norfolk, she’s best known for books like M for Murder, D for Dead, Deep Dark Secrets, Dying To Tell and the global hit The Summer House.
She grew up in the village of Old Catton, just outside Norwich, a short walk from the house where Anna Sewell worked on Black Beauty. As a child she devoured horror and suspense, and spent hours filling notebooks with short stories and makeshift plays.
As a teenager she loved anything dark and unsettling on page or screen, discovering that the suggestion of danger could be more frightening than outright gore. A holiday spent racing through a Stephen King novel convinced her that she wanted to try writing one of her own.
Back home in Norfolk, she set to work and finished her first full-length novel at the age of twenty. Publication did not follow straight away. Instead, she wrote in spare hours around day jobs, submitting and being knocked back, slowly learning how to tighten plots and build tension.
The turning point came in 2012, when her manuscript about a serial killer known as the Alphabet Killer won a contract in a new-novel competition. Reworked and retitled over the years, that story became the Rebecca Angell debut M for Murder, followed by D for Dead, which together mix procedural detail with high-stakes, character-driven suspense.
From there she moved deeper into psychological thriller territory. Standalones such as Dying To Tell, Deep Dark Secrets, Every Little Breath, The People Next Door and Trust No One often feature ordinary people in Norfolk and beyond whose lives are blown apart by past mistakes, buried crimes and obsessive love. Her thrillers have now sold more than half a million copies worldwide and been translated into several languages.
More recent books, including The Sleepover, The Summer House, The Boat House / The House in the Woods, Nowhere to Hide, The Cottage by the Sea, The House Sitter and Dead of Winter, lean into claustrophobic settings—isolated houses, snowed-in manors, tight-knit villages—where secrets fester and nobody is quite what they seem.
Across her work she favours slow-burn dread over graphic violence. Her villains are often disturbingly plausible, and her stories explore guilt, loyalty, the weight of old secrets and the fear that the past will never really stay buried. Readers come for the twists, but they stay for the very human characters caught in impossible situations.
Beevis still lives in Norfolk, drawing inspiration from its quiet villages, broads and coastline. Away from the desk she enjoys horror films, thrillers and romcoms, live indie music, dinner parties and local pub quizzes, as well as writing a light-hearted lifestyle column. She shares her home with three mischievous cats—Ellie, Poppy and Finn—and is happy to admit she is as clumsy in real life as some of her characters feel on the page.
