Author: Carole Hailey completed the Guardian/UEA novel-writing course with Bernardine Evaristo, who imbued Carole with such a love for writing fiction that she abandoned her career in law to study first an MA, then a PHD in Creative Writing. Her debut novel, The Silence Project, was a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick, a Waterstones Welsh Book of the Month, and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize. She lives in Wales.
Book: Scenes From A Tragedy is published on 6 March 2025. ISBN 9781805461531. When an empty passenger plane crashes in the Lake District, Carly Atherton's hopes of getting back together with the man she loves vanish - Luke Emery was one of the two pilots on board. Investigating the story behind the doomed flight might just be the chance disgraced journalist Carly needs to rescue her career, as well as giving her the answers about Luke's death that she desperately wants. But when she contacts the family of the other pilot, Daniel Taylor, she finds the two women he was closest to - his devoted sister and his loving wife - have very different memories to share. As Carly delves into the dynamics of a seemingly ordinary family, she uncovers a far darker story than she could possibly have imagined. A story she risks becoming part of even as she tries to piece together the truth. Because the bonds that shape us can also tear us apart. And sometimes there are monsters living among us, hiding in plain sight...
