Kate Darroch

Author Bio:

Living in gorgeous Coastal Devon, Kate synergises her lifelong love of reading Cozy Sleuths with years of writing experience and her extensive knowledge of foreign climes to write Travel Cozies.
Her first Cozies were the 1970s-set Màiri Maguire books - fun, frothy, fast-paced mysteries, with just enough clues and twists to keep you guessing until the end.
Kate hopes that her readers will get as much pleasure from reading Màiri’s adventures as she gets from Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown, Ellery Queen, Raffles, and Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune series.

Next, Kate created Huntingdon Hart, a dry, witty, prescient, tongue-in-cheek combo of James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, who's in love with a much older woman.

Kate's most recent opus is the Christian Second Chance for Lasting Love series, Sweets By the Sea, a depth saga of Recovery and Redemption which her readers insist is even more adorable than her Cozy Mysteries.
