Marina Pascoe is the creator of the Bartlett and Boase Mysteries, a crime series set in 1920s Cornwall.

A lifelong passion for history led to her recent Master’s degree which centred on mental health in 19th-century children in the Dorset County Lunatic Asylum.

Marina divides her time between Falmouth and Ilchester, Somerset and her other main focus is all things vegan, animal rights and environmental issues.
