Author of the Clara Pascal, Rickman & Foster, and Rowan & Palmer series
Margaret Murphy
Hello, and thanks for dropping by!
I write psychological novels, most of which have been published worldwide. Just out from Joffe Books is Darkness Falls, the first in the Clara Pascal series. This series is set in the pretty Roman-walled city of Chester in north west England, right on the Welsh border. Keep a look out, too, for the Rickman & Foster series which has the grittier urban setting of Liverpool as a backdrop. And I have another two brand new novels almost ready to go: the third in the Rickman & Foster series, and the first in a brand new series (more on these two projects soon!). My novels have been shortlisted for the ‘First Blood’ critics award and CWA Dagger in the Library, and I am a CWA Short Story Dagger and Red Herring award winner. Feel free to explore – and do keep in touch via the contacts page, or social media – I love to hear from readers!
