Zoe Rosi is a thriller author based in the UK.
She is the author of eight novels. Her first six are romantic comedies, at which point she rebelled against the genre and penned a thriller about a vigilante serial killer of predatory men.
This novel, Pretty Evil, is inspired by American Psycho and features a sociopathic murderer called Camilla Black, who is as stylish as she is vengeful, juggling a day job as a fashion magazine editor with her darker pursuits.
Pretty Evil was first published in 2020, at the height of MeToo, and was the first in the 'glamourous and funny killer of bad men' books, now a popular trope. The novel has been praised in the press, being described as 'an erotic murder thriller for the MeToo generation... a must-read' by Daily Express and as 'the ultimate revenge story' by The Independent.
Someone’s Watching Me is Zoe’s second thriller. In January 2024, her third psychological thriller, a novella called Courier was published. Courier is about a creepy courier called Bob who becomes obsessed with a woman on his delivery route.
Zoe's romantic comedies are published under the pen name, Zoe May.
‘Utterly unputdownable, the novel is not only complexly plotted but lyrically written, with vivid and striking lines that will linger in the reader’s mind.’
