Bookouture signs thriller author Mandy McHugh

We are delighted to announce that Associate Publisher Kelsie Marsden has acquired World All Languages rights, including ebook, print and audio, for two gripping thrillers by Mandy McHugh from James McGowan at BookEnds Literary.

Kelsie says,

‘As soon as I started reading Mandy’s psychological thriller, I was totally hooked! I am so excited to be working with Mandy to bring this explosive new title to readers. Set around a seemingly idyllic street not unlike Wisteria Lane, reading this felt like watching all the best TV dramas – we have affairs, illicit scandals, murder and a group of frenemies like no other! Mandy is such a talented writer, and I can’t wait for readers to meet the wives living on this not-so-perfect street. Mandy’s characters are all harbouring secrets you won’t believe and the reveals here are truly jaw-dropping.’

Mandy says,

‘Kelsie’s enthusiasm for my work and understanding of my characters are just a few of the reasons why I’m so excited to be working with her and the entire team. Sarcasm, toxic friendships, and a healthy dose of dark humour take root in this community and will have you questioning who you can trust and how much you can believe. I cannot wait for readers to experience the killer joy of suburban life on Lantana Court.’

James says,

‘From the very first chapter, All the Wrong Neighbors hooks you in and doesn’t let you go. I knew from page 1 that I wanted to work on this book. Mandy is an author to watch, and knows how to perfectly craft the kind of thriller that keeps you turning pages and making educated guesses about what’s going to happen. Even if you’re completely wrong…’
