About Paula Longhurst
creating fun, fast, page turning thrillers.
Hey 👋 I'm Paula, I'm a writer and you - lovely person that you are - can now buy me a coffee!

All you need to know is that Nikki - our narrator - is doing a favour for a friend and it goes sideways from there. Enjoy! I put the Rover in the space closest to the exit. I’ll have to evade Gav’s chatty doorman, the chap loves a mug of tea and a gossip with any passing tenants. I tuck my hair behind my ears, entering the reception area, out of sight of the desk and the first thing I hear, is...
