Bio
Gill Perdue is the author of bestselling crime novel If I Tell which was nominated for Crime Novel of the Year in the An Post Book Awards 2022. If I Tell is the first in the Shaw and Darmody series of crime thrillers published by Penguin, set in the fictional Dublin suburb of Clonchapel.
A second Shaw and Darmody, When They See Me, was published in 2023 to excellent reviews – described as ‘a thrilling read,’ (The Independent) and ‘an impressive follow up.’ (Belfast Telegraph.)
In July 2025 her hotly-anticipated third novel, The Night I Killed Him, a cold-case murder set in Corrig Point, an exclusive South Dublin yacht club, will launch in Dun Laoghaire – where else? This book has already received rave reviews – with Marian Keys declaring it: ‘utterly UTTERLY magnificent!’
The paperback edition of When They See Me is out in May this year and her first standalone thriller will appear in 2026.
Gill lives in Rathfarnham with two rescue cats, one of which walks over her laptop when she’s working, and a mostly genial husband who makes good coffee.
