Louise Douglas

Hello! I'm Louise, author of 14 mystery suspense and Gothic novels, which have sold well over a million copies. I'm thrilled to have won the RNA Jackie Collins Romantic Thriller award 2021 for The House by the Sea. The Secrets Between Us was a Richard & Judy pick.

My latest book, The Emerald Shawl, is a Victorian murder-mystery, set in Bristol, and featuring one of my favourite characters to date, Nelly Brooks, Bristol's first (fictional) woman journalist.

The Sea House, is the third of the Brittany collection of novels set in Finistère and all involving missing people. The Lost Notebook was a number one best-seller. Its sequel, The Summer of Lies was published in February 2024. I'm currently working on number four.

When I'm not writing, I love to spend time with my family, friends and animals. I'm passionate about nature, being outside, drawing, wildlife, walking and books. I love watching Bristol Bears rugby, and live music, but most of my spare time is taken up with my beloved Border Collie, Luna.

I really hope you enjoy my books. If you'd like to connect, find me on Facebook Louise Amy Douglas, LouiseDouglas3 on Twitter or Insta. Thank you x
