Growing up in a family of murder mystery addicts, I learned early to look for means, motive and opportunity.
After studying English Literature – with a sideline in crime fiction – at Lancaster University, I set about teaching myself to write my own stories, while also experiencing enough of the world to have things to write about.
Two careers, a lot of airmiles, one husband, two children, three houses and forty five published books for children and adults later, lockdown finally gave me the means, motive and opportunity to create my own murder mystery – with the aid of my scientist husband’s worryingly thorough knowledge of poisons.
The Three Dahlias is the result.
