Clare Mackintosh (1976) is an English crime writer whose literary work is complemented by her biography: Mackintosh worked as a police officer for 12 years before her career as a writer. She has published a dozen crime novels so far, several of which are also available to Estonian readers. Mackintosh’s third novel Let me Lie, published in Estonian in 2018, is a story full of unexpected turns about a woman named Anna, who tries to find out why her parents killed themselves in close succession. Mackintosh’s seventh novel Hostage is set on a plane from London to Sydney, where Mina, a flight attendant with a complicated personal life to say the least, has to face some blood-curdling dangers. Mackintosh has also begun to write novels around one protagonist, a 30-year-old constable named Ffion Morgan, who has so far appeared in two books: The Last Party, published in 2022, and A Game of Lies, published in 2023.
