Billy McLaughlin

Billy McLaughlin is a Scottish born writer with 12 books currently under his belt. Four of the books, including 2019's serial killer thriller, 'Four,' are part of the DI Phil Morris Mysteries. His first full length novel, 'Lost Girl,' arrived in May 2016 and has gone on to achieve more than 20,000 downloads. The follow up, 'In the Wake of Death,' has received rave reviews for it's dark tone and psychological elements.

His most downloaded book came in the form of 2017's, 'The Dead of Winter,' a novella that focuses as much on the broken relationships of a small community as it does the crime itself. One reader described it as being like 'a full series of Broadchurch.' Once again, praise was levelled at the atmospheric tone with another reader suggesting that the material would work well as a movie.

His Christmas short, 'Krampus,' won the US Readers Who Review award in 2017.

Billy is passionate about reading but recognises the need for bite-sized thrillers for people who enjoy reading but simply don't have the time. As he begins works on his thirteenth book, he finds himself even more excited about the writing process.
