Written by Caz Frear "Where do you get your ideas from?” It’s a question, as an author, you get asked ALL the time. In fact, it’s usually the first thing people ask when they discover you make up stories for a living (the other being: “And would I have heard of you?” which is always a bit awkward).

When I first came up with the idea for Five Bad Deeds, I didn’t imagine telling the story from so many different points of view. I had my main character, Ellen Walsh, all fleshed out, and Five Bad Deeds was supposed to be very much her story. However, best laid plans often go awry. See, at its core, Five Bad Deeds is a story about perception – how we perceive ourselves, how others perceive us, and the occasional yawning gap between those two things.

Caz Frear certainly doesn’t make it a habit to complain about bad service — but the one time she did inspired the plot for her latest chilling novel, Five Bad Deeds.

What if her partner had left her that morning, or maybe a family member was sick, leaving her distracted?

Caz Frear has become one of the most interesting authors in crime fiction over the last several years, and her series featuring Cat Kinsella is not to be missed. With the release of FIVE BAD DEEDS, she has stepped fully into the psychological thriller realm with a stand-alone novel that will have readers riveted. At first glance, Ellen Walsh is your typical British mother and wife. She is also a teacher and would come across to anyone who meets her as an upstanding citizen.
