She's won three Romantic Novelists' Association awards for her romantic fiction - and is thoroughly enjoying her new life of crime! She lives in Norwich with her husband, two grown-up children, two spaniels and too many books to count. When she's not writing or researching, she'll be out at a gig or the theatre, at ballet class, doing cross-stitch, taking photographs of the sunrise while persuading the spaniels to stay still for one second, fossicking around on a beach or in archives, or exploring ancient buildings. She loves learning new things, which is why you'll always discover something different in a Kate Hardy book. Oh - and, like her heroine Georgina Drake, Kate's deaf but doesn't let it hold her back in any way.\"","brand":"Storm Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324678144274,"sku":"9781805087540","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a45359dd-5d95-4346-8b21-16bcf2b515ee.jpg?v=1748694802","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-body-at-the-roman-baths-a-gripping-and-charming-cozy-crime-novel-9781805087540","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
