Hello, and welcome! My name is Claire Ladds, and I write crime and suspense, and psychological thrillers, as well as some dark women’s fiction.

I have a new crime and suspense thriller series releasing in 2022, and I’m hoping you’ll love reading it as much as I am doing writing it! Expect some nasty villains and flawed characters, as well as some dark twists.
When I’m not writing you’ll find me with a cuppa, curled up with a crime book.
There are loads of ways you can hear more from me and about my books, and get some sneak peeks at what’s happening ‘behind the scenes’. If you’d like exclusive content just for members, all my news and writing updates, be notified of any deals on my books, and other good stuff, you can sign up for my Readers’ Club here.

It’s easy to keep up-to-date with my new releases in other ways, too. If you get your books on Amazon, you can go to my Amazon Author page, then just click the yellow ‘follow’ button.
