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

Her debut novel was shortlisted for Novelicious’s Undiscovered Award, as well as an EPIC award post-publication, and was chosen as a Debut of the Month by LoveReading. Murder in the Marshes (Tara Thorpe 1) was shortlisted for an International Thriller Writers award.

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

I’m afraid I haven’t got any more planned at the moment, but I did enjoy writing them (though I love creating the Eve Mallow mysteries too!) I think the two series are essentially different sub-genres and Eve fans tend to say it's those familiar elements you mention that keep them coming back. For my own part, I really love both sorts of story, and totally see your point of view and theirs. I’d love to write both at once but time is an issue! At the moment I’m contracted to write more Eves as the series is going well. However, I’m hoping to writing another police series set in a town at some point. I will post about it on my blog when there’s more news on that. Take care and all the best.(less)

I'm currently writing a new series featuring obituary writer, Eve Mallow, but I might go back to Tara one day. I really enjoyed writing about her and Blake. As such, I wanted to tie up the main story lines that run through the first four books, but also to leave myself the option of giving them another mystery!(less)
