Sara Foster
SARA FOSTER writes page-turning psychological suspense thrillers with strong female leads. Her latest novel, When She Was Gone (2025), begins when an au pair and two small children vanish from a remote Australian beach. It’s a race-against-time thriller, exploring themes around misogyny, wealth, power and control.
Sara is also the author of the acclaimed near-future thriller The Hush and seven more psychological suspense stories: The Deceit (novella), You Don’t Know Me, The Hidden Hours, All That is Lost Between Us, Shallow Breath and Beneath the Shadows. In April 2026, her debut novel Come Back to Me will be republished by Blackstone (US). Three of her novels have been optioned for television, and You Don’t Know Me was adapted into a chart-topping drama podcast series by LiSTNR.
Sara has a PhD in creative writing (studying maternal representations in dystopian fiction) and lives in Perth, Western Australia, with her husband, two daughters, two cats, Luna the cavoodle and Sunny the bearded dragon.
