Anna Britton

Anna Britton is a British crime novelist best known for her debut novel, Shot in the Dark (2023), published by Canelo. This gripping book introduced the detective duo of DS Gabe Martin and DI Juliet Stern and marked the beginning of an acclaimed series. Britton's second novel, Close to the Edge (2024), continues their investigative journey.

Anna Britton was born in the UK and studied English at St Mary's University, Twickenham. Her academic background provided a foundation in literature and poetry that she built on when she began writing nine years ago. Britton's interest in complex female relationships and crime fiction influenced her writing.

In 2023, Britton published Shot in the Dark, in which DS Gabe Martin and DI Juliet Stern tackle their first major case. With a mix of suspense and psychological depth, this debut was praised for its solid characters and twisty narrative. One reviewer said: "This is the best police procedural I have read in years. It's complex, gripping, believable and intensely chilling. The novel established Britton's reputation for writing gripping police procedurals.

In her follow-up, Close to the Edge (2024), Britton explores Gabe and Juliet's partnership under new pressures. The book follows the detectives investigating a missing art student, blurring the lines between a simple disappearance and a deeper conspiracy. Described as "a second instalment that will keep you on the edge of your seat," this work cemented Britton's position in the mystery genre.

Britton is passionate about helping other writers hone their craft. She offers editing services, from full manuscript reports to line-by-line critiques, designed to support and guide authors.
