One day, Frances Evesham walked on a beach in peaceful Somerset and came upon a unique nine-legged Victorian lighthouse. Her first cozy crime story, Murder at the Lighthouse, was born. Now, she writes mystery stories: the Exham on Sea contemporary cozy crime series set in a small Somerset seaside town, and the Thatcham Hall Mysteries, nineteenth-century historical mystery romances set in Victorian England. She collects poison recipes and cooks with a glass of wine in one hand and a bunch of chilies in the other, her head full of ingenious ways to dispatch her victims-in fiction, of course. She’s been a speech therapist and a road sweeper, and worked in the criminal courts seeing crime from all points of view: victim, prosecution, and defense. Spending time in the dock and the witness box alongside witnesses taught her more about motive, means, and opportunity than she could ever have imagined.

Even though she was born within the sound of Bow Bells in London England (now residing in the beautiful state of Michigan), Jennifer has a “proper old-fashioned BBC sound, with American overtones,” but can conjure up her cockney side if need be!
