Simon Kernick Books in Order

Simon Kernick is a British thriller and crime writer based in Oxfordshire. He hones his craft while living with his wife and two daughters. Kernick attended Gillotts School in Henley-on-Thames, where he developed a strong work ethic through various jobs, including fruitpicker and Christmas-tree uprooter. He graduated from Brighton Polytechnic in 1991 with a degree in humanities, solidifying his passion for crime fiction writing. Kernick's early years were marked by a string of rejections, but he persevered, joining MMT Computing in London and later Metaskil plc in Aldermaston, where he gained valuable sales experience. His persistence paid off in 2001 with the publication of The Business of Dying, followed by the best-selling thriller Relentless, which topped the UK charts in 2007 after being recommended on Richard & Judy's Summer book club.
