Killing Dad: A Psychological Thriller by Craig Beck
Oct 27, 2026Killing Dad: The BRAND NEW Must-Read Psychological Thriller From Bestselling Author Craig Beck
The fourth stair creaks unless you put your foot on the outside edge. Carys Vaughan learned that at eleven.
At twelve, she went down it in the dark with a hammer from her father’s tool bag.
Sixteen years later, nobody knows. Her mother confessed, did her time, and never said a word.
Now Carys works nights in a south London A&E. She’s the nurse you’d want: steady hands, dry wit, nothing on her face. She watches frightened women sit beside the men who hurt them and swear they fell. And she carries one rule, made at her mother’s deathbed. Only men like your father. Never because somebody asks.
A Secret And A Favour
Julie, the night sister, calls her Taff and loves her like a daughter.
Julie also has a favour she can’t say out loud.
Thomas, the grieving widower with the beautiful glass house, never raises his voice. He dims the lights from his phone, chooses her dresses, and stands in the bathroom doorway on Sunday nights while she steps onto the scales.
He weighs her. She lets him.
And a tired detective with no car and no case has started to notice that when somebody who deserved it dies, the same quiet nurse is always nearby.
Killing Dad, Again And Again
Killing Dad is a psychological thriller told from the killer’s kitchen, not the police station. You’ll root for a woman you should fear. You’ll start counting the small cruelties that come before the big ones.
You’ll never look at the calm one on the night shift the same way again.
Carys has never once been wrong about a man.
She’s about to find out what that certainty costs. And the person she trusts most is about to ask her to break the only rule she has.
