Niyla Farook is a writer from West Yorkshire, where she still lives. When she’s not writing, she’s either working in a pharmacy (just like Agatha Christie!) or winning every murder mystery game she can (which isn’t a lot!). As a woman of color, Niyla is passionate about portraying authentic diversity in her books. 

She’s the author of RIDA AND MADIYA (Bloomsbury Education, 2023) and the upcoming A Tariq Twins Mystery series. The first book in the series is MURDER FOR TWO, which will be published on January 25th 2025 in the UK by Piccadilly Press.
