If she were to sum up the core of her books, what would it be? ‘Our capacity for compassion but also brutality is what intrigues me,’ she says. She adds that this intrigue began in her days as a history teacher. Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant, and a robbery following the death of local businessman Colin Day.

What readers are saying about Dark Game ‘ The investigations come to a dangerous conclusion. Be prepared to be taken on a journey ’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The investigations come to a dangerous conclusion. Be prepared to be taken on a journey' 5* Reader review I had to explain to children why world leaders, who are supposed to be people we look up to, do despicable things. Children find it really hard to get their head round that. Delving into the dark side of human nature and what drives people to do horrible things is what I find fascinating.
