Wanting Daisy Dead

Wanting Daisy Dead by Sue Watson
Unrated

They all had a reason. Only one had the nerve.

Twenty years ago, student Daisy Harrington went out for the evening and never came home. Her body was found a week later. The killer was caught. Case closed.

Now, on what would have been her fortieth birthday, her five university housemates are invited to a weekend gathering. None of them want to go. But none of them can refuse—the invitation makes it clear that if they don’t attend, the past they’ve spent two decades hiding will finally come to light.

Because the man convicted of Daisy’s murder was innocent. And one of the five has known this all along. As the weekend unfolds, the truth threatens to finally be revealed…

They all wanted Daisy dead, but one wanted it more. The question is…who? And why?

When readers pick up a Sue Watson novel, they know they are stepping into a world where the familiar suddenly tilts into something far more unsettling. Once a journalist and BBC television producer, Watson built her career on observing the everyday dramas of ordinary people. That keen eye, sharpened in Manchester newsrooms and television studios, now fuels thrillers that leave readers questioning how well they really know their closest relationships.

Watson’s journey into fiction began with lighter women’s fiction, but her voice found its true resonance in psychological suspense. Her thrillers, such as The Sister-in-Law, The Forever Home, and Our Little Lies, probe the fragile boundaries between love and betrayal, trust and deception. Domestic settings become stages for hidden agendas, and characters who first seem comforting quickly reveal darker sides.

Her novels are not simply page-turners built on twists, though there are plenty of those. They are explorations of the quiet fears we carry about marriage, family, and friendship. Influences like Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca echo in the way Watson uses atmosphere and suspicion, while her background in media ensures her dialogue feels lived-in and her pacing precise.

With nearly two million copies sold worldwide and translations reaching readers across continents, Watson has secured her place among today’s most read psychological suspense writers. She is also a USA Today bestselling author, a recognition that reflects not just commercial success but the trust readers place in her ability to deliver both comfort and unease in the same breath.

Now living in Worcestershire with her family, she writes full time, often with cake at her side and a playful acknowledgement of her own procrastination. That blend of warmth and unease defines her fiction, novels that feel rooted in kitchens and living rooms but simmer with the kind of secrets that could unravel a life in a single chapter.
