About this deal

Meanwhile, the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family – nervy mum Matilda (Juliet Stevenson), her businessman husband Oliver (Owen Teale) and daughter Lucia (Annes Elwy) –are returning to their Welsh home in rural Monmouthshire so Oliver can recuperate from a heart operation.

I definitely had favourites in this series (Birdman, Ritual and now Wolf) but I thoroughly enjoyed every single book, for a whole plethora of reasons and I am so good I found this author! Sacha Dhawan teams up with Rheon in the role of Honey, who turns up at the Anchor-Ferrers household with Molina. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jul/31/wolf-review-this-totally-wild-thriller-has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed

Born in Essex on 2 January 1962, Hayder grew up in Loughton as the daughter of John Bastin, an astrophysicist, and Susan Hollins, a teacher. [3] [5] She had a younger brother, Richard. [1] She left school and home for London shortly before her 16th birthday. Hayder was educated at The American University and Bath Spa University.

A little girl finds a dog with a note in it's collar saying "help me" and so begins Mo Hayder's most chilligly terrifying novel to date. Bestselling and prize winning author Mo Hayder has expertly crafted an authentically disturbing, gripping, unsettling and engrossing thriller in Wolf. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Stuart MacBride and Karin Slaughter, this is one novel you won't be able to put down... Molina is a bit of a hapless criminal - he’s not the brightest, but he has some great ideas. He’s part of a double act with Honey, played by the brilliant Sacha Dhawan, who take the Anchor-Ferrers family hostage, although he’s probably not the ideal person for this job. Hayder- δεν λείπει ούτε από αυτό το βιβλίο. Ο ευρηματικός τρόπος που το χρησιμοποιεί, καταφέρνοντας να σοκάρει όσο πρέπει, μαρτυρά πόσο χαρισματική μπορεί να γίνει η πένα της, όταν η ίδια έχει κέφια. Η διπλή δολοφονία δύο εφήβων πριν από δεκαπέντε χρόνια χρησιμεύει εδώ όχι απλά για να «στοιχειώσει» το εν λόγω μέρος, κάνοντάς το πιο ανατριχιαστικό κι ατμοσφαιρικό, αλλά για να αποδείξει πως τα πράγματα κάποιες φορές δεν είναι όπως φαίνονται, ανατρέποντας όλα τα δεδομένα και αποκαλύπτοντας μια πολύ διαφορετική, μα εξίσου φρικιαστική αλήθεια. Matilda is very devoted and quite dependent on her husband so it’s very difficult for her to find herself cut off from him, as they are quite early on in the story, because she looks to him to be steady, calm, reassuring and have that patriarchal male wisdom. Matilda is highly intelligent, but it feels to me that her intelligence hasn't anywhere to go, particularly if she hasn't been working or in a situation where it could be fed or flourish.

Roach stars as DI Caffery, and he’s a troubled detective (aren’t they all?) who’s haunted by the murder of his 10-year-old brother in the ‘90s. Not only is he still obsessed by the case, but he’s convinced that the murderer is his old next-door neighbour. So what links these two stories? Well, we’ve got no idea yet, but it looks like we’re going to be gripped until the big reveal. Who else is starring in it? Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon (on right) as Honey and Molina.

I've done it!! I've gotten to the latest instalment of the Caffery series and sadly I'm a little disappointed with this one. The last 25% of the book rushes by in a roller coaster of emotion and I was almost "hiding behind the settee" to read it, reading whilst hiding your eyes is not easy at all. And then the amazing twist right at the end made me want to scream but was of course, just perfect. A lot of the characters never meet the Anchor-Ferrers family. We are in a very isolated part of the story. We literally shot in one location – a mansion - so the Anchor-Ferrers story, vivid and extreme though it is, is always held in the bubble of that one house. One of the things I really love about this project is that on paper it might sound like just another crime thriller, but what Megan has done so brilliantly is introduce an interesting genre where she combines crime, thriller, horror and even comedy. When I say comedy, it's not like you've got these characters trying to be funny. Rather, she puts characters in situations you wouldn’t expect to find them and that’s where the humour lies. You’re laughing at the absurd circumstances the characters find themselves in and that’s unique. The team behind the show are also what make it unique, not just Hartswood Films and APC Studios but also our brilliant directors, the way it will be edited and the look of the show. Fourteen years ago two teenage lovers were brutally murdered in a patch of remote woodland. The prime suspect confessed to the crimes and was imprisoned.

year old Oliver Anchor-Ferrers has just been through surgery to replace his heart valves, and as he contemplates his wife, Matilda, and his adult daughter, Lucia, he also contemplates his own mortality. They’ve come to their beautiful Victorian home they’ve named The Turrets, high on a hill in the Mendips, so that Oliver can recover from his surgery. Lucia is brooding, as usual. It seems she’s never recovered fully since her ex-boyfriend was brutally murdered 14 years ago, not too far from The Turrets, actually, by a madman named Minnet Kable. When Matilda finds something near the house that calls to mind that long ago crime, she’s understandably terrified, and when two men show up, claiming to be police investigating the death of a nearby woman, all hell breaks loose in the Anchor-Ferrers household, calling up old crimes and new vendettas.

Honey and Molina really are chalk and cheese but Molina is the only person Honey has and they’ve got to function together to get out alive. I was chatting to Megan during preparation and there are almost points where Honey gets so wrapped up in what he's doing that he could do something really dangerous and regret it. To get into all of that was a real joy.
