Harlan Coben's daughter releasing new mystery thriller available to watch for free in UK

We all love a good thriller or a mystery drama. Every time a new one comes out it’s all the group chats are banging on about.

Take Fool Me Once for example, when that landed on Netflix in the new year, plenty of us were absolutely hooked.

Harlan Coben is just an absolute master when it comes to the genre, with a whole list of his books turned into series.

And now his daughter is releasing another new mystery thriller that we’ll be able to watch in the UK.

Charlotte Coben is a screenwriter in her own right and wrote some of the episodes for Fool Me Once as well as The Stranger and Stay Close.

And now her own creator, thriller Dead Hot is set to launch on Amazon Prime Video.

Set in Liverpool, Dead Hot follows Elliot (played by Bilal Hasna) and Jess (played by Vivian Oparah) - a couple of best pals who are dealing with the loss of Peter - Elliot’s boyfriend and Jess’s twin.

Five-years on from his mysterious disappearance, the pair are still struggling to come to terms with their loss and throw themselves into partying to cope, while secretly hoping that they’ll one day discover exactly what happened to Peter.

But when Elliot begins a new relationship with Will, he starts to believe he might be able to begin to move on from his grief - until he discovers that Will has his own dark past.

Meanwhile, Jess receives a message from someone claiming to be Peter, which sets of a shocking turn of events.

Sounds good, eh?

Amazon says the six-part comedy thriller series is a ‘must-watch for those who love a good mystery with a dramatic twist’. Sounds right up my street.

Giving fans a bit of tease about what to expect, Jess actor Oparah said: "I'm beyond excited to be bringing this zany world to life with such a talented creative team.

"This story is a thrilling roller-coaster ride with a lot of funny, crazy, twists and turns that's driven by something we can all identify with - family, both blood and chosen. I'm looking forward to everyone joining Jess and Elliot on the ride!"

Executive producer Nicola Shindler promised viewers ‘plenty of surprises along the way’ in the ‘unique story with heartbreak, humour, and absurdity’.

Dead Hot is set to land on Amazon Prime Video on 1 March.
