Who is Angela Marsons?

Angela Marsons is a British crime writer, born in 1968 and hailing from the Black Country in the West Midlands. She is proof that you do not need a metropolitan postcode or a noisy media profile to build a serious readership: her novels have sold more than three and a half million copies and have been translated into 28 languages.

Those numbers deserve a moment’s pause. Crime fiction is the most crowded shelf in British publishing, and its readers are famously unforgiving – they abandon writers who waste their time. A record on that scale, sustained across so many territories, tells you Marsons delivers what the genre demands: momentum, tension and plots that hold together under scrutiny.

Angela Marsons in audiobooks

Crime fiction has always been one of the great audiobook genres, and a writer who has sold in the millions across dozens of languages has clearly mastered the essential skill: keeping people turning pages, which in audio means keeping them listening past their stop. On myaudiobook.co.uk, Marsons is represented by Wicked Women, a title that leaves little doubt about the territory she works in.

For UK listeners there is a particular satisfaction in crime writing from a British author rooted in the West Midlands rather than yet another import. Wicked Women is the obvious place to discover what several million readers already know.
