Life and career

McAllister was born in Sutton Coldfield and raised in Tamworth. After attending Belgrave High School in Tamworth (now known as Tamworth Enterprise College) and receiving A-Levels, McAllister read English at the University of Birmingham, receiving a 2:1 BA Hons. She then converted to law, studying the GDL and receiving a commendation. McAllister received a distinction in her Legal Practice Course (LPC) from The College of Law, before working as a solicitor in two Birmingham-based legal practises.

McAllister wrote fiction in her spare time throughout adulthood, often writing in the evenings and commutes to and from work[2]. She finished her first full (unpublished) novel while suffering from glandular fever[3] for two years. Her debut published novel, Everything But The Truth [4] was published by Michael Joseph [5], an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, [6]. In its first week, Everything But The Truth reached number six in the Sunday Times Bestseller List. Translation rights[7] have been sold to several foreign publishers.

In March 2017, McAllister signed a deal[8] with Michael Joseph to release another two novels.

Anything You Do Say was published by Michael Joseph in 2017 as an e-book, with a paperback scheduled for January 2018. It was reviewed [9] in the Sunday Times in late 2017.

In June 2018, Penguin USA acquired her third novel, No Further Questions. Its US title is The Good Sister.
