Catherine Coles

Catherine Coles writes cozy mysteries that are irresistibly British, gently humorous, and filled with the kind of secrets only found in quiet villages.

A childhood spent abroad thanks to her father’s Army career sparked her sense of adventure, but it was the school library that truly set her on her path. From Nancy Drew to Agatha Christie, she fell in love with sleuths who solved crimes with curiosity, courage, and the occasional clever quip.

Today, Catherine creates mysteries steeped in Golden Age charm, gentle humour, and English-village intrigue. She’s the bestselling author of the 1920s Tommy & Evelyn Christie Mysteries, the post-war Martha Miller Mysteries, and the Lady Matilda Investigates series featuring an aristocratic sleuth and her loyal basset hound sidekick.

Catherine lives in Yorkshire with her youngest child and their pampered beagle—who remains blissfully unaware she’s not human.
