edit data

I grew up in south London, did an English degree, and then took forever to start writing. The stories started to grow longer...and then the murders began!

I tend to write Victorian mysteries of a not-too-scary nature. I've somehow managed to have 3 separate Sherlock Holmes-themed series (why make things easy?). I also co-wrote the Caster & Fleet mystery series with Paula Harmon, and my Maisie Frobisher Mysteries series is a spinoff from that.

I write a modern cozy mystery series, Pippa Parker Mysteries, and my newest series, The Magical Bookshop, is a cozy mystery series with a touch of fantasy and magic.

Visit my website for book info, links to stories, and my blog, in which I ramble on about all sorts of things. Hope to see you soon. ...more

The Magical Bookshop is open! Northern Soul is out today

I always intended to go back to the Magical Bookshop one day. Not to extend the series arc, which was completed with book 6, Fully Booked (see what I did there?), but to write a spinoff or a follow-on series. And here’s the beginning of it – Northern Soul!
