Ruth Kelly is a journalist who has ghosted a string of Sunday Times top ten bestsellers most recently The Prison Doctor which sold over 250000 copies and The Governor which went straight in at number one on the Amazon charts and number five in the Sunday Times bestseller list. The Escape is Ruth's follow-up to The Villa and features a dream home in a holiday destination that turns deadly. It's also a cautionary tale exploring the darker side of social media. Having spent most of her life travelling and exploring the world holiday destinations feature heavily in Ruth's thriller writing. Her family relocated to Papua New Guinea when she was seven years old and the travel bug hasn't let up since. The simmering threat of what lies beneath the surface the dichotomy of how paradise can also be hell fascinates Ruth. Making a destination a character in its own right - both a friend and an enemy not someone to be trusted is a thread explored throughout her writing. . Language: English
