Second Rev. Clare novel – first draft completed!

Posted on 5th May, 2025 in News

Clare is in Cornwall for her second adventure, and no spoilers, but there is a mystery to unravel! The first draft of the novel is now finished, and whatever rewrites there may be, Clare will definitely be staying at a clifftop hotel on the Lizard Peninsula, and her golden retriever will join her and the other retreat guests there. The collection of hotel visitors and staff members includes many surprises, with one guest in particular causing Clare considerable discomfort….

Here is a photo of me and my dog relaxing on a beach which features in the novel – enjoying a sunny afternoon there, fortunately with no crimes being committed. As yet the title of the second novel is undecided, (best suggestions so far have come from some primary school pupil friends, ‘Scream Tea’ or ‘Clotted Crimes’, amongst them!). The book is due out in 2026.
