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.
