London, October 2024. Jane Isaac's first novel at dp books, An Unfamiliar Murder, delves into the devastating impact of long-buried family secrets.

The thriller combines authentic police procedures with unexpected twists and turns.

Jane Isaac reveals that she spends a lot of time on the research and that it’s her favourite part of the writing process.
Her passion for crime and mystery dates back to childhood nights spent reading under the covers and family evenings spent solving “whodunits” alongside Hercule Poirot. She admits that crafting a crime novel presents its own challenges: From maintaining the story’s pace to carefully placing clues for the reader. Yet, these hurdles are what make writing in this genre so fulfilling for her.

An Unfamiliar Murder is now available for readers who enjoy gripping crime fiction with layered characters and suspenseful storytelling.
