Alison Belsham initially started writing with the ambition of becoming a screenwriter-and in 2000 was commended for her visual storytelling in the Orange Prize for Screenwriting. In 2001 she was shortlisted in a BBC Drama Writer competition. Life and children intervened but, switching to fiction, in 2009 her novel Domino was selected for the prestigious Adventures in Fiction mentoring scheme. In 2016 she pitched her first crime novel, The Tattoo Thief, at the Pitch Perfect event at the Bloody Scotland Crime Writing Festival and was judged the winner.
Deliciously creepy, The Embalmer grabs you from the beginning, the
contrast of modern Brighton working perfectly against the eerie
inner world of an Egyptian-obsessed serial killer. Hold on tight as
grisly kills mount up across the city, for an ending that won't
disappoint.
*Louisa de Lange*
The Embalmer is an excellent, fast-paced and well written and
plotted novel! I did not want to put it down. Prepare to lose
sleep
*Rebecca Kelly, author of MONSTROUS SOULS*
The Embalmer is another creepy and compulsive tale from Alison
Belsham, author of the brilliantly terrifying The Tattoo Thief.
Lock the doors and keep the lights on because we're back in
Brighton with Marni Mullins and DI Sullivan, chasing down a serial
killer with a penchant for mummification and ancient Egyptian
immortality rites. Beautifully crafted and with writing so visual
it leaps off the page, The Embalmer will keep you on the edge of
your seat until the very last page.
*Amy McLellan, author of REMEMBER ME*
An engrossing, fast-paced serial killer story with multiple plots
as tightly interwoven as the linen strips around a mummy!
*Heleen Kist*
Intriguing, compelling and chilling, I was hooked on The Embalmer
from the first page. A brilliant mix of gothic and police
procedural.
*Sarah Ward, author of THE QUICKENING*
Pacy, cinematic, dark - a much needed dose of escapism.
*Daniel Cole, author of RAGDOLL*
