ⓘ About Cath Staincliffe
Cath Staincliffe is a British author that writes crime novels. She has also experimented with short stories and poems, though some people might know her best for ‘Blue Murder’, a television crime drama that premiered on ITV to rave reviews. +Biography Cath Staincliffe was born in 1956. She learnt later on that she had been adopted as a baby in England. It would take several years before she finally reunited with her Irish birth family. The author grew up in Bradford, and publishing wasn’t necessarily in the cards for her during those early years, mostly because Cath was so thoroughly entranced by insects that she was certain she would become an entomologist in the future. Of course, as with most children, the author’s fixation with insects did not last. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Detectives Donovan & Young Books series, Cath Staincliffe has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
