They say write about what you know…

During a glamping trip with my husband in 2023, I thought it might be a neat idea to set a crime novel on a glampsite.

Flash forward to 2026, and here it is… Murder on Clover Farm.

Out in paperback, eBook and audiobook in August.

@janebettany.bsky.social I've just finished Murder in Merriwell, having read Murder at the Book Festival first ( I know, wrong order). I loved it! The plot races along. I thought I had worked it out, then changed my mind. I really like the character of Violet. She's very real. Great novels. Thanks!
