Roz Watkins is a crime writer, author of a detective series set in the Peak District and a standalone thriller, The Red House, one of the Times ‘best books of summer 2023’. Her first book, The Devil’s Dice, was shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger award, and was the Times crime book of the month.
