I'm a former Guardian journalist and and I've written three novels.I started out as a news reporter, first on a local paper (school fetes! Council planning meetings!) and then on The Daily Telegraph, the Times moving to features on the Guardian. I joined the Guardian staff in 2001 and was a commissioning editor on the paper for 11 years.My first novel, Homecoming, was published by Faber & Faber in 2013. Described as 'truly exceptional' by The Observer, it tells the story of a Yorkshire farming family and in particular the sons' struggle to separate from their parents to become their own people. You can read reviews here: http://www.susiesteiner.co.uk/homecoming/My second novel, Missing, Presumed, tells the story of a high profile missing persons investigation, led by DS Manon Bradshaw. She returns at full chaotic tilt in my third novel, title tbc...I live with my husband and children and no pets whatsoever (though we are considering a stick insect) in London.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I liked getting to know all of the characters - even the mom of the missing woman. Manon felt like a genuine person, as did most of the POV characters and, while I wanted more of the case and less personal sometimes, I'm looking forward to the next book so I can see how ...
A special thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.A missing persons case is at the core of the story although there is much more going on character-wise. Detective Sergeant Manon Bradshaw has just returned from another internet date gone wrong and is u...
Oh, look! It’s me not loving a book I should love… again! I think my 3 star rating is actually more of a “It was okay… could’ve been better.” Anyway; Missing, Presumed revolves around the disappearance of the beautiful Edith Hind, who’s the daughter of the famous surgeon Ian Hind. When her disappe...
