About the Author
Anita Waller
Anita Waller was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1946. She married Dave in 1967 and they have three adult children.
With many books to her name, she feels she has finally realised her dream. She writes mainly psychological thrillers but was commissioned in 2018 to write a cosy mystery series, the Kat and Mouse trilogy. In November 2020 this grew to five books, plus a spin-off standalone novel called Epitaph, featuring Doris, one of the characters from the series. This series has now led on to a spin-off series, the Connection Trilogy, with books entitled Blood Red, Code Blue and Darkest Green.
She is now in her mid-seventies, happily writing most days and would dearly love to plan a novel, but has accepted that isn’t the way of her mind. Every novel starts with a sentence and she waits to see where that sentence will take her, and her characters. If writer’s block intrudes, be sure there will be a death.
In her life away from the computer in the corner of her kitchen, she is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter with blue blood in her veins!
Her genre is murder – necessary murder.
My Review
Just when I thought Anita’s books couldn’t get any better, and she comes along with The Family at No 12.
This is a much darker read than the other books from Anita and the first part of the book is hard to read but is needed to shape the story.
Anita is an amazing storyteller and I never tire of reading.
Although slightly different from her Kat and Mouse series, it grabbed me right from the start.
Do I recommend this one? Yes and I cannot wait for the next book from Anita.
