Rachel Lynch
Rachel grew up in Cumbria and was forced to hike the Fells every weekend. Now, when she can, she does it for pleasure. Married to an Army Officer, she spent twelve years following military postings around the world, living in thirteen different houses. As well as writing, she teaches history and is a personal trainer.
Her crime series features D I Kelly Porter, who returns in her mid-30s to her native Cumbria, after a spell in the Met that ended badly. Kelly finds herself investigating a series of gruesome murders in a landscape where there is plenty of room to lose bodies. Over a million copies of the Kelly Porter series have been sold. The most recent title, First Act, is a prequel showing Kelly in her first job with the Met.
Rachel has also written two international thrillers, The Rift and The Line, featuring Major Helen Scott of the Royal Military Police, and two standalones, The Rich and The Famous (all available from Canelo). Another psychological thriller, The Secret Inheritance, has been published by Storm.
