Katherine Stansfield Livres
Katherine Stansfield élabore des récits captivants qui mêlent décors historiques et éléments de folklore et de mystère. Sa série policière distinctive, ancrée dans l'histoire de la Cornouaille, met en scène un duo de détectives peu conventionnels qui élucident des crimes inspirés d'événements réels et de légendes locales. Cette approche unique offre une expérience de lecture fascinante, souvent comparée à un mélange de Sherlock Holmes, X-Files et Daphne du Maurier. En tant que membre du partenariat d'écriture DK Fields, elle explore également des royaumes imaginaires en co-écrivant des romans de fantasy politique.
