After spending a decade as a broadcast journalist for the BBC, Jo Furniss gave up the glamour of night shifts to become a freelance writer and serial expatriate.
Originally from the United Kingdom, she spent seven years in Singapore and also lived in Switzerland and Cameroon.
As a journalist, Jo worked for numerous online outlets and magazines, including Monocle and the Economist. She has edited books for a Nobel laureate and the palace of the Sultan of Brunei. She has a Distinction in MA Professional Writing from Falmouth University.
Jo’s debut novel, All the Little Children, was an Amazon Charts bestseller and one of the Top-30 Kindle titles of 2017. Her follow-up is a domestic thriller called The Trailing Spouse which is set in Singapore. Her latest work, The Last to Know was published in 2020.
As of 2024, Jo has a new publishing contract to write four “locked-room” crime novels. The first is DEAD MILE, a murder mystery set on a gridlocked motorway, due to arrive in July 2024.
