title: Poison: Cambridge Murder Mysteries
author:  Charlot King 
description: <br />Charlot King is the author of the Cambridge Murder Mysteries series: Book one, 'Poison', Book two, 'Cursed', and soon to be followed by Book three 'Horsemen'.<br /> <br />As a temporary distraction, Charlot is writing novels in a Sci-Fi dystopian series called 'Dog Tales', the first two will be 'Woof' and 'Pup'.<br /> <br />Charlot lives in Cambridge, England, a place she loves dearly. This fondness for Cambridge is replicated in her books, which have been described as evocative and authentic of this historic English city.<br /> <br />The Cambridge Murder Mysteries are set in the heart of Cambridge, featuring a vegan and animal loving sleuth Elizabeth Green, and her sidekicks Inspector Abley and grandson, Godric.<br /> <br />The Cambridge Murder Mysteries fit into a number of different crime fiction genres, including whodunnit, woman sleuth, as well as international or 'British' crime fiction. Also, if you just like reading about stubborn, strong headed intelligent women with buried soft centres then Professor Elizabeth Green might be for you.<br /> <br />Charlot's own favourite reads include E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia, and P.G.Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster series. Charlot has also lived in the centre of Oxford, in Jericho (prime Morse territory) when she was an Oxford Don. Charlot also loves Holkham, on the North Norfolk coast and Edinburgh in Scotland.<br /> <br />If you like crime fiction, murder mysteries and whodunnits, then you might like Poison and Cursed.<br /> <br />Charlot used to work in BBC Drama, as a script editor. She also spent time working in development in the film industry in the UK. Apart from writing, Charlot likes to take photographs (snaps) of where she lives.<br /> <br />If you want to get in touch please contact via any of the below:<br /> <br />Website: www.charlotking.com<br /> <br />Twitter: @queencharlot<br /> <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CharlotKingWrites/<br /> <br />Instagram: charlot_king_cambridge<br /> <br />YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB_v0Vt-vHK64piuhxbEl_Q<br /> <br />Thank you very much and happy reading.<br />
