Writing remains a passion and a source of enjoyment in her spare time. She has published four novels in the past 12 years, with a 5th about to launch.

Her first published novel, Dark Horse, received enthusiastic feedback, followed by Drowning in 2016, a humorous and thought-provoking story set against the backdrop of the environmental crisis. In 2020, she published a sequel, Staying on Track, revisiting the characters of Dark Horse and introducing the memorable Moody Muppet.

Her nostalgic 1980s novel What About Jayne? was published in 2023. She is now set to publish a new novel, Gordon’s Gift, featuring a male protagonist with an extraordinary ability. Chat to Claire to find out more!”

“Jared Cade is the Amazon number one bestselling author of Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days, which is being released as a major film in 2027 starring two-time Oscar nominee Felicity Jones, French cinematic icon Vincent Cassel and Game of Thrones’ star Alfie Allen.

During an appearance on the British television quiz The $64,000 Question, Jared Cade won the top prize on his specialist subject of Agatha Christie’s novels. He is a former tour guide for a bespoke luxury travel company, escorting parties around Agatha Christie’s former home Greenway, in Devon, which is open to the public courtesy of the National Trust.

Jared Cade is also the multi award-winning creator of the crime-solving duo of actor Lyle Revel and cellist Hermione Bradbury. The couple take centre stage in a series of British cosy murder mysteries that blend classic Golden Age influences with contemporary crime storytelling. Key titles in the series include The Elusive Dietrich, Murder on London Underground and Deadly Fortune.

Jared Cade’s authoritative two-volume magnum-opus began with the publication of Secrets from the Agatha Christie Archives, which was nominated for the prestigious ALCS Gold Dagger Award for Non-Fiction in 2025. The highly anticipated concluding tome Agatha Christie’s Spotlight on Murder is set for release in November 2026.”
