Cara Hunter

I'm the author of MURDER IN THE FAMILY, and the DI Adam Fawley series, set in Oxford.

I've always been a voracious reader and viewer of crime - I've learned so much from the outstanding writing that we now see on crime TV like Line of Duty or Broadchurch, and I've tried to recreate the experience of watching series like that for my readers. I've been using mixed media from the very first Fawley book - in fact, since before they started calling it mixed media! I love giving my readers different ways to explore the story and I'm such a geek that I do all my artwork myself. My favourite feedback is when readers tell me it's like getting the raw material of the case, so they can be detectives themselves. That's where the idea for MURDER IN THE FAMILY came from.

What else about me? I have a boy cat who does his best to distract me whenever I get close to a keyboard (if you have cats, you'll know), I love travelling, spending time with friends, and I have never knowingly turned down a glass of champagne....
