Linda has published 4 books in a crime fiction series based on an astrologer, who is also a PI. They feature Jo Hughes, who is determined to make her way as a professional astrologer despite being regularly dragged into murder cases by her ex-boss and ex-ex David Macy. Reviews say the series is ‘compelling and twisty’ and ‘sleep was on my only respite’!

The fourth in the series is The Hanged Man and was published on 3 August and readers are enjoying the flawed but fascinating characters as they develop through the series. Plus a plot which keeps you gripped from the start.

All the books have compelling characters and memorable settings from the Cotswolds to Midlands cities and London. Linda is writing the 5th in the series about Jo and Macy, which is set in Bournemouth.

Linda once worked as a PI herself. In fact, having done many jobs from rescuing stranded whales to organising graduate schemes in Scandinavia, she has a wide range of experiences and places to draw on, which inspire great stories. She has written and directed Murder Mystery events, written short stories and travel articles.

Personal interests, apart from writing, are fitness and, of course, astrology. She lives in Worcestershire and is a member of the CWA’s North Cotswold Chapter.

Published by Joffe Books, the books are FORECAST MURDER, A SIGN FOR MURDER, MURDER AS PREDICTED and THE HANGED MAN.
