About The House That Jack Built
Receptionist Kate Dahlbeck accepts the final slot on reality TV show "Jack's House", and takes a leave of absence from her job to live in front of cameras, wired up to a microphone twenty-four hours a day. Despite the silly activities forced on the contestants, it's all fun and games...that is until one of them dies.
Tired of desk duty while he recovers from injuries sustained in the line of duty, DS Zander Ellery is chomping at the bit to investigate the suspicious death—from the inside. His partner DC Isabel York agrees to watch his back from the safety of the director's gallery in the studio. Zander packs the one bag he's allowed, and enters the house undercover. It doesn't take him long to work out the sinister link between housemates, but proving which one is a killer isn't easy. They're all hiding something, including Kate.
Time is short. Can Zander catch the culprit before he—or she—strikes again? And will his growing attraction for the seemingly innocent Kate cloud his judgement or will he be carrying her off to the nick before the show's final wrap?

Bio: Clare is a British author. She lives in a small town in England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, and some of her now grownup children. Writing from a early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make. Or being annoyed by the cat and dog.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American, the books contain British language and terminology.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.

Thank you for introducing me to a new author. I find it interesting to read a book by an author from England. The differences in terms and usage can be quite entertaining.
Thank you for the chance to read this book.
