C.L. Taylor’s gripping new suspense thriller, Her Last Holiday, is published today in UK hardback (HarperCollins). A story about one woman who joins a wellness retreat in order to uncover the truth about what happened to her sister who went missing on the very same programme years ago, this promises to be a thrilling ride, and we cannot wait for readers to get their hands on a copy.
Her Last Holiday is the latest novel from six times Sunday Times bestselling author, C.L. Taylor. Her previous thriller Strangers shot right into the Sunday Times bestseller list during a nationwide lockdown, also reaching #3 on the Amazon charts and #1 on the Apple charts. Before that, her thriller Sleep was also a Sunday Times bestseller and a Richard & Judy Book Club pick. Her books have sold a total of over 1.2 million copies, translated into over twenty languages, optioned for television, and have hit No. 1 spots on Amazon Kindle, Audible, Kobo, iBooks and Google Play. Recently, C.L. Taylor was longlisted for the CWA Dagger in the Library, for a body of work by an established crime writer that has long been popular with borrowers from libraries.
In the run up to publication, this brilliant new thriller has received some wonderful press attention, from this exciting giveaway competition run by the Sun, to the Financial Times’ roundup of ‘the best new crime fiction‘. Her Last Holiday has also recently reviewed in a number of magazines including New magazine, Big Issue North, and it was also included in Her magazine’s list of ‘85 brilliant books that we can’t wait to curl up with in 2021‘.
