About the Author
Clare is a British author. She lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, their three children, and unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly the black cat. They have recently been joined by Hedwig and Sirius the guinea pigs. Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins.
Writing from an early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.

About the Book
With trouble on the streets, DS Zander
Ellery is under even more pressure to solve the case of the Prayer Slayer. His
partner DC Isabel York is convinced she is being targeted, as all the postcards
the Slayer sends are addressed only to her.
With Zander and Isabel pulled in different directions, the body count
escalates, until the case explodes in a direction no one could foresee—Something
that will test everyone to the limits of their experience and faith.
My review
Murder in Headley Cross, a typically quiet
community in the English countryside has everyone on guard. The police don’t
seem to be able to not only find the killer, they can’t seem to figure out how
he seems to be playing the detectives on the case. Isabel and Zander, the
assigned detectives, know the lines of the prayer and speculate on the number
of murders the killer plans based on other evidence of stolen artwork, but deaths
that don’t fit the pattern throw everything off.
Answers to questions about Isabel’s past creep from home life directly into work, and when other pieces of the puzzle begin to point in her direction as a target for murder, she struggles to convince anyone of her suspicions. Worse yet, Zander seems to be out of control, the whole case spins in a direction that surprises the readers. Following the clues first one direction, then another, will have mystery lovers tied up in knots waiting to see how the author deftly pulls it all together. Told through both Zander and Isabel’s eyes, we grow suspicious as each detective begins to piece the evidence and motives together in different angles. The story comes to a conclusion in book four.
