Clare Chase writes women sleuth mysteries set in London and Cambridge. She fell in love with the UK's capital as a student, living in the rather cushy surroundings of Hampstead in what was then a campus college of London University. (It's currently being turned into posh flats ...)After graduating in English Literature, she moved to Cambridge and has lived there ever since. She's fascinated by the city's contrasts and contradictions, which feed into her writing. She's worked in diverse settings - from the 800-year-old University to one of the local prisons - and lived everywhere from the house of a Lord to a slug-infested flat. The terrace she now occupies, with her husband and teenage children, presents a good happy medium.As well as writing, Clare loves family time, art and architecture, cooking, and of course, reading other people's books.Clare’s debut novel, You Think You Know Me, was shortlisted for the Novelicious Undiscovered Award 2012 and an EPIC award in 2015. It was also chosen as a debut of the month by Lovereading. You can find Clare's website and blog at www.clarechase.com
