PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jane Jesmond writes crime, thriller and mysteries. Her debut novel, On The Edge, the first in a series featuring dynamic, daredevil protagonist Jen Shaw was a Sunday Times Crime Fiction best book. The second in the series, Cut Adrift, will be published in February 2023, and A Quiet Contagion, an unsettling historical mystery for modern times, in November 2023. Although she loves writing (and reading) thrillers and mysteries, her real life is very quiet and unexciting. Dead bodies and dangerous exploits are not a feature! She lives by the sea in the northwest tip of France with a husband and a cat and enjoys coastal walks and village life. Unlike her daredevil protagonist, she is terrified of heights!
