Jocelyn Dexter is a British author known for her psychological thrillers. Her debut, psychological thriller Shh (2020), was long-listed for the Guardian's Not The Booker Prize.
Born in London, Jocelyn Dexter developed a love for reading from an early age, consuming the works of Winnie The Pooh, Tintin, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Raymond Chandler. Her parents were journalists, and she spent much of her youth travelling the world.
At 40, Jocelyn pursued a BA in BSL/English Interpreting. She worked for seven years as a sign language interpreter. During this period, she conceived the idea for her debut novel, Shh — a psychological thriller set in the Deaf community. The book was long-listed for the Guardian's Not The Booker Prize.
Shh provides a unique insight into the Deaf world, where a serial killer lurks. Uninvited is a psychological thriller/domestic noir featuring an affable psychopath who traps a family and forces them to reveal their darkest secrets.
Jocelyn completed an MA in Creative Writing at Brunel University. In her books, she explores the 'why' of the crime rather than the 'who.'
Her most recent work, Mother Said So (2024), is a psychological thriller about a man and his relationship with his mother.
Dennis, a socially awkward man in his thirties, tries to find a girlfriend despite his mother's taunts. He rescues an unconscious woman, Rosie, and brings her to his home.
Jocelyn's sixth book, to be released in October 2024, will focus on psychological trauma and the everyday fears of life.
