Candy Denman trained as a nurse, and worked in the NHS almost all her life, until managing recently to disengage herself in order to become a full-time crime writer. She has also written a number of scripts for such highly-acclaimed TV series as The Bill and Heartbeat which gave her the idea to write a crime series that also includes medical stories.
Dead Pretty, the first in a series featuring feisty female protagonist Dr Callie Hughes, is a serial killer thriller set in a seaside town in Southern England.
