About this Event
Caro was born in Govan, on Glasgow's south side. A graduate of the British School of Osteopathy, she used to run a large osteopathic centre but now concentrates on her writing.
Her first novel, Absolution, published 2007, was the first of the Anderson and Costello mystery/crime series, which now runs to 13 novels. Drizzly, grey, Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. Several have achieved short- and long-listing for literary awards.
Her more recent series introduces Christine Caplan, a Glasgow DCI with professional and family issues, dealing with crime spanning Glasgow and the North-West Highlands. The series is a cross between gripping Scottish police procedural and twisted psychological thriller, featuring a complex and fascinating female protagonist: a perfect choice for fans of tartan noir. Where She Lies, the fourth book in the series, was published in August 2025.
We look forward to hearing about Caro’s crime-writing experiences, including what influenced her characters, and about her recently published novel. Caro will have just returned from a visit to Iceland Noir, and will give us an insight into how her writing resonates with her Icelandic audience.
