Jessica Huntley

Jessica Huntley is a British writer of psychological suspense whose fiction draws on questions of memory, loyalty, trauma, and uncertain testimony. Before becoming a full-time author, she served in the British Army, an experience that informed the military background and emotional pressures in Jinx. Published in 2023, the standalone thriller follows former soldier Aimee Price, celebrated for saving a man's life during an explosion. Years later, the man is accused of a serious crime, and Aimee must decide whether her memories and knowledge of him can be trusted. Huntley uses two periods of Aimee's life to connect public heroism with private doubt. Jinx was her sixth published book and became a finalist in the 2023 BookShelf Fiction Awards. Her wider catalogue includes psychological thrillers released independently and through publishers such as Inkubator Books and Joffe Books. Jinx shows the personal foundation of her suspense writing, transforming aspects of military experience into a story about credibility, survival, and the long reach of the past.
