Rachel McLean

    Rachel McLean schreibt Thriller, die zum Nachdenken anregen sollen und darauf abzielen, einen rasanten Puls mit einem beschäftigten Verstand zu verbinden. Ihre Geschichten schließen die Lücke zwischen rasanten, charaktergetriebenen Erzählungen und literarischer Fiktion, der es manchmal an Handlung mangelt. Mit einem Hintergrund im Schreiben für verschiedene berufliche Kontexte konzentriert sie sich nun auf Belletristik und bietet den Lesern ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, bei dem Spannung und intellektuelles Engagement nebeneinander bestehen. Ihre Romane werden für ihre Fähigkeit gelobt, vom ersten Blatt an zu fesseln und die Leser in fesselnde Geschichten über Überleben und moralische Zwickmühlen eintauchen zu lassen.
