About
Caroline Mitchell





Police Officer to Author
Caroline Mitchell is a bestselling author whose thrillers have captivated millions of readers around the globe. Born in County Offaly, Ireland, Caroline’s path to publishing wasn’t typical — she moved to the UK, raised four children and joined Essex Police. A former police detective, she has worked in CID and specialised in roles dealing with vulnerable victims, high-risk victims of domestic abuse, and serious sexual offences.
Having swapped case files for fiction, she now lives just outside Lincoln. Her books have been shortlisted for several book awards, including the 2022 Audie Awards alongside Stephen King. Her thrillers have hit No.1 bestseller spots in the UK, US, and Australia, and continue to earn tens of thousands of five-star reviews from readers who love a gripping, emotional, twist-filled read.
Caroline is also the founder of Brave The Page, a motivational writing course and app that helps aspiring authors write the book they’ve always dreamed of. The highlight of her journey remains the freedom to write full time while spending quality time with her family.
