Favorite place to read a book: On my sofa with my dog on my lap and a cup of tea by my side.

Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Hercule Poirot

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: I can’t remember a time that I didn’t want to be an author. I wanted to be a veterinarian as well, and it seemed easier to follow that ambition first. But throughout my six years of vet school and eighteen years in clinical practice, I never lost that niggling desire to write. In the end, in my early forties, I decided I had to give it a go.

Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: paperback (but ebook when more convenient)

The last book I read: Tombland by C J Sansom
