THE DETECTIVES:
The astute Detective Inspector Finley Robson leads the murder investigation. Smart and resourceful, he has an uncanny ability for getting to the bottom of the toughest cases. However, he is also struggling to overcome his own troubled past and finds the unusual theatrical case resonates deeply with him.
Detective Sergeant Nadia Zahra is his tenacious, no-nonsense partner who has risen quickly through the ranks to become one of the youngest detectives at the London Metropolitan police force. Fiercely loyal, she maintains a healthy disregard for bureaucracy and is a force to be reckoned with.
THE LOCATION:
Nestled in the heart of London’s East End, the vibrant Shoreditch is the setting for this perplexing English murder mystery. Achingly trendy, the area is renowned for effortlessly combining contemporary events with traditional, refurbished venues and so is an ideal location for an edgy, modern production of one of Shakespeare’s classic plays..
Author Bio:
I have written professionally for my business career as a Chartered Marketing Manager for over a decade before turning my hand to fiction.
As an avid crime fan, I regularly participate in the renowned Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate and relish attending literature festivals across the country as well as engaging in numerous online writing communities.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy reading, countryside walks, musicals, chocolate (but controversially not Oreos) and movies (although obviously the book is always better!)
I live in Leeds with my husband, Chris, and son, Jack.
Murder at Macbeth is my first crime novel and was longlisted for the international Flash 500 Novel Award 2017.
