Murder on the Tor

Author Bio: Frances Evesham

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.
