Julia Chapman grew up in Australia before settling in France, and she writes under a pen name. The Yorkshire Dales setting gives her books a strong sense of place, and the fictional town of Bruncliffe feels lived-in rather than just a backdrop.
The Dales Detective series follows Samson O’Brien, a former undercover police officer who returns to his hometown, and Delilah Metcalfe, who runs a dating agency out of the same building. Their working relationship and slow-burn dynamic keep readers coming back as much as the mysteries do.
