Colette Clark is the author of fourteen historical mystery novels set in the 1920s and 1930s which follow the adventures of her amateur sleuths, Penelope Banks and Lisette Darling. You can find out more on her website.

A little support will go a long way. You could also drop us a line and let us know how you’re enjoying the podcast.
