Leonora Nattrass

Leonora Nattrass lectured on the literature and politics of the 18th century for ten years before running away to Cornwall, where she now lives in a seventeenth-century house with seventeenth-century draughts and knits the wool of her Ryeland sheep into elaborate jumpers.
Her first novel Black Drop was a Times Book of the Year and her second Blue Water was a Waterstones Thriller of the Month and longlisted for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Award. Her third, Scarlet Town, was shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger.
