These four short works by Cath Staincliffe were published between 2011 and 2013. They include pieces like In The Heart of The City and Night Nurse, each offering a self-contained crime or suspense story. The shorter format lets Staincliffe zero in on a single incident or character under pressure.
The stories reflect the same interests that run through her novels: crime as it affects everyday people, settings rooted in recognizable places, and tension that builds from character rather than spectacle. Readers looking for a quick taste of Staincliffe’s writing before committing to one of her longer series will find these a good starting point.
