Gillian McAllister

Hello there!

As you find me, it’s spring 2026 and my new novel is Caller Unknown, a thriller with a mother and daughter at its centre. It asks the question: if a ransom contains instructions to get your daughter back that tell you not to tell the police, do you comply? What if that includes your husband?

As to me, otherwise, I am the author of these novels:

Everything But The Truth (2017)

Anything You Do Say (2018) called The Choice in America

No Further Questions (2018) called The Good Sister in America

The Evidence Against You (2019)

How To Disappear (2020)

That Night (2021)

Wrong Place Wrong Time (2022)

Just Another Missing Person (2023)

Famous Last Words (2025)

Caller Unknown (2026)

My most popular novel is probably Wrong Place Wrong Time, which was selected for the Radio 2 book club and was the Reese’s Book Club August ’22 pick. It debuted at number 4 on the Sunday Times Bestseller List and number 2 on the New York Times Bestseller List. Famous Last Words was a Sunday Times bestseller in paperback and hardback and a New York Times bestseller too.

When not writing (which is basically never), I can be found walking my dog Wendy and parenting my small toddler. The best moments of my day always are the first sip of my coffee, the moment I step into the bath at night, and my son telling me he loves me. And that rare thing that happens only once a year – a novel idea.

I love instagram – come find me over there as gillianmauthor. I talk about real life, how hard writing is, and what to do when your body breaks (as mine does, from time to time).
