Matilda Swift lives in an English town that’s less eventful but just as beautiful and cosy as Heathervale and Withingsworth.

She’s originally from nearby Manchester, and after travelling the world from Madagascar to Malaysia as well as living in Hong Kong for several years, she’s back among the hills and rain in the place she loves best.

Her clean-read mysteries can be read as standalones or in series order for more twists than a country lane and a cast of cosy characters you’ll be right at home with.

Sign up to her newsletter at the bottom of the page for the Matilda Swift starter library as well as plenty of short stories and news of exclusive discounts and new releases.
