Nina Manning

Author

Nina Manning is a British author of psychological thrillers and comedy fiction whose versatility has seen her move between dark, twisty suspense and laugh-out-loud stories about the chaos of modern motherhood with equal success. Manning studied psychology and has had a remarkably varied career — she has worked as a restaurant owner and... as a private chef, including cooking for members of the royal family. She is also the founder and host of Sniffing the Pages, a book review podcast. The Daughter in Law was her debut psychological thriller, and she has since published numerous novels spanning multiple genres. Her thrillers include The Guilty Wife, The House Mate, The Bridesmaid, Queen Bee, and Her Last Summer — sharp, twisty suspense novels driven by complex female characters and the dark dynamics of relationships and power. The 3am Shattered Mums' Club and The 6pm Frazzled Mums' Club are her comedic fiction titles — warm, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny stories about the exhaustion, guilt, and fierce love of modern motherhood. These books have resonated with parents who recognise their own chaotic lives in Manning's honest, humorous writing. Manning's ability to move between psychological thriller and comedy is relatively rare and speaks to her versatility as a writer and her understanding of different audiences. Whether she is building tension in a domestic suspense novel or making readers laugh about the indignities of sleep deprivation and school-run politics, she writes with authenticity and emotional intelligence. The audiobook editions of Manning's novels suit both her genres perfectly — the thrillers are tense and gripping, the comedy titles are warm and entertaining. Her books and audiobooks are ideal for readers who love both psychological suspense and funny, honest fiction about real life. Read more Show less
