Synopsis

When a promising local artist disappears, the victim's brother begs Detective Tara Thorpe to take the case. It seems there's no evidence of foul play . . . he simply disappeared without a trace.

Tara agrees to do some digging . . . never mind that her unorthodox approach to policing has got a few of her colleagues' backs up. Amongst them is her former supervisor Detective Patrick Wilkins . . . he's had enough of Tara calling the shots and will do anything to knock her down. She must be careful.

At least she has an ally in their boss, Detective Garstin Blake. He'll always back her hunches. If anything, they work together too well . . . at least, that's the rumor around the station these days.

When a body of a young woman is found frozen near the fens, Tara's evidence suddenly becomes key to solving a high-profile murder. Is their missing artist still a victim . . . or in fact a clever murderer with a deadly plan?

About Clare Chase

Clare Chase writes classic mysteries. Her aim is to take listeners away from it all via some armchair sleuthing in atmospheric locations.

Clare's debut novel, You Think You Know Me, was shortlisted for Novelicious's Undiscovered Award, as well as an EPIC award in 2015. It was also chosen as a debut of the month by Lovereading. Murder on the Marshes (Tara Thorpe 1) was shortlisted for an International Thriller Writers award in 2019.

Like her heroines, Clare is fascinated by people and what makes them tick. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked in settings as diverse as Littlehey Prison and the University of Cambridge, in her home city. She's lived everywhere from the house of a lord to a slug-infested flat and finds the mid-terrace she currently occupies a good happy medium.

As well as writing, Clare loves family time, art and architecture, cooking, and of course, reading other people's books.

When you are reading a series you enjoy, it’s always counting down the days until you can finally get your hands on the next part.
