or of 11 crime novels and two non-fiction titles. Her first novel, Cambridge Blue, was described by Publishers Weekly as an assured debut and introduced both detective, DC Gary Goodhew, and her trademark Cambridge setting. She went on to write six further novels in the DC Goodhew series before writing two psychological thrillers I Did It for Us and The Moment Before Impact. Crash and Burn is the second book in a new series, again set in Cambridge but this time featuring DCI Ronnie Blake and the DEAD team.
