FREE story! https://christabakker.com/newsletter

Of Dutch origins, formerly in France and presently based in southern Britain, Christa Bakker spends her days gazing at romantic countryside, wondering how to describe it to do it justice. She loves good food, good puzzles and good villains.

Christa writes happy little bloody murders, but if she stares at you, don’t worry. She’s not planning to kill you, she’s just borrowing body parts for her next character.

Her daily accomplishments include keeping her two children alive, leaving her husband in peace, and not eating too much chocolate. Although that last one depends on your definition.

The Mister as inspiration

All right, are you in for a bit of swooning? On my part, not necessarily on yours. When I posted this video, my husband, who doesn't read my books but is subscribed to my Instagram, reacted with, 'Your feet? What about me?' And to be honest, he has quite a substantial influence on me and my writing, so here's one for the Mister!

Giggled out loud at this one! I'd give it 6 stars if I could. The characters are so funny, and the plot deliciously and ridiculously convoluted. Loved it! ...more
