Margaret James
British writer Louise Beech’s first novel was a Guardian Readers’ Choice for 2015, and the three that followed were all bestsellers on Kindle. She has also written several prize-winning short stories and is a successful playwright.
Louise’s latest title is Call Me Star Girl and is an atmospheric psychological thriller in which Stella McKeever, a presenter on a night-time radio show, is being called repeatedly by a man saying he knows who killed pregnant Victoria Valbon, a young woman whose body was found in an alley close to where Stella lives. Does Stella want to know, too? Does she want to share her own secrets with her listeners and to hear their confessions in return? Or are some things best kept private? After all, once something has been said it can’t be unsaid.
