Sam Blake has been writing fiction since her husband set sail across the Atlantic for eight weeks and she had an idea for a book.
Sam has had a string of No. 1 bestsellers with her runaway bestselling debut, Little Bones, the first in the Cat Connolly trilogy, shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of the Year. Switching to psychological thrillers, Keep Your Eyes on Me was a No. 1 bestseller, and her next book, The Dark Room was shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of the Year. Her last thriller, Remember My Name, went straight to No. 1 in January 2022.
Sam is also one of the best-connected people in crime writing: a founder of National Crime Reading Month and runs Europe’s biggest online writer’s magazine Writing.ie
Originally from St. Albans in Hertfordshire, Sam now lives at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains, near Dublin in Ireland.
