Becca Day lives in the middle of the woods in Surrey with her husband, daughters and cocker spaniel.

She studied acting at Guildford College and went on to start her own Murder Mystery theatre troupe. It was this move that inspired her love of crime fiction, and when she sold the company she threw herself head first into crime writing.

​Her short fiction has won several prizes and The Girl Beyond The Gate, her first full-length novel, was published in March 2022. Aside from writing, she is also an avid reader and runs Reading Parties with fellow author William Shaw.
