Adele Parks writes contemporary women’s fiction and domestic suspense about relationships, betrayal and the gap between public appearances and private choices. Playing Away and Game Over established her with sharp relationship-driven fiction, while later novels such as Lies Lies Lies, Just My Luck and Both of You move more decisively into psychological suspense, missing people and family secrets. Parks often begins with a familiar domestic setup — a marriage, friendship group or sudden windfall — and then exposes the resentments or deceptions underneath it. Her prose is accessible and plot-led, with twists carrying more weight in the later work. Lies Lies Lies and Just My Luck are good starting points for Parks’s later domestic suspense, where marriages and friendships become unstable once money, secrecy or disappearance changes the balance.
