ⓘ About Caro Ramsay

Caro Ramsay is a Scottish author that writes crime fiction. Most of the author’s novels are set in Glasgow. Caro has been complimented and criticized for writing some truly demented stories. +Biography Caro Ramsay was born in Govan on the South side of Glasgow; the author wouldn’t have been anyone’s first guess for the student most likely to write crime fiction. She wasn’t particularly good at English. She did excel in the sciences, though that isn’t exactly the reason why she chose to focus on Math and Chemistry. Caro remembers being somewhat irritated by the achievements of her smarter elder sister, and many of her choices when it came to exam subjects were made in an attempt to steer clear of her seemingly superior sibling.
