Isobel Wycherley is an English author who writes dark comedies, crime dramas, and psychological thrillers.

Wycherley was born in Warrington, England. She is currently studying linguistics at Manchester Metropolitan University, with a strong interest in forensic linguistics and language acquisition. Her passion for music and films significantly influences her writing style, as she visualizes her narratives in a cinematic format.

Isobel Wycherley debuted with Gone Too Far West in 2020. It is a dark comedy based on true events from the summer of 2018. The story follows Flic and her friends Javan, Len, and Jenkies, who, after learning Flic has only a year left to live, embark on a mission to make it their best year. Their journey takes a sinister turn when they witness a murder during a night of drug experimentation, leading them into a hallucinatory quest for the truth.

Her crime fiction The Dons Of Warrington (2021) is the first installment of a trilogy that delves into the tumultuous world of mafia families. The novel introduces twin sisters who, against all odds, join forces with an Italian Mafia family in Manchester—a family under surveillance by their father, DC Tim Shelley. The twins’ involvement in the mafia’s dangerous missions ignites a thrilling narrative of assassinations, police raids, and the relentless pursuit of power.

World War Warrington and Don's Vendetta, presumably follow the escalating conflict and delve deeper into the criminal underworld introduced in the first book.

Her recent work, In the Styx (2024), marks a departure from Wycherley’s previous themes, focusing on Barnaby Robinson, a radio host and one of the few survivors of a nuclear explosion. Confined to his bungalow, Barnaby confronts his sanity with only his peculiar black cat, Hedley, for company.
