About
The author
Noah Bennett writes psychological suspense that finds menace in the everyday. Drawn to the secrets people keep from the ones closest to them, he writes taut, character-driven novels where ordinary lives slowly reveal their fault lines.
Born and raised in Liverpool, he spent years listening to other people’s stories — first as a journalist, then simply as someone who couldn’t stop noticing what went unsaid — before moving to London, where he now writes. The most dangerous secrets, he believes, are the ones hiding in plain sight.
The Book
Ask Her How She Knew
Psychological suspense · debut novel
She’s writing a novel about a killer. She just never expected to meet him.
Frankie Doyle came to London for the anonymity of eight million people who never look up. By day she reads other writers’ manuscripts; by night she works on her own — a thriller about a man who preys on the people the city has already forgotten. Then the people around her start going missing for real, and the patterns in her notebook stop feeling like fiction.
Everyone knows about Frankie’s ‘murder book’, so the more certain she becomes, the more they tell her she’s disappearing into her own story. And the quiet, forgettable man who holds the door for her every morning has decided she is the most interesting person he has ever met.
Noah worked with the Fenn & Fable Writer’s Studio to create the book’s atmospheric title cover — the quiet, unsettling image of a city that never looks up.
Noah first came to the House through the Writer’s Studio, then chose to join Fenn & Fable itself so it could get behind the marketing of his book.
