Claire Willowbrook writes two kinds of escape: the cozy mysteries of Harrow's Cove, where the kettle is always on and the occasional body turns up between the scones, and the darker, slower-burning romantasy of the Drowned Court, a sea-bound realm of old bargains and loyalties that cost more than they should. Whether readers arrive for the teashop or the tides, Claire writes the kind of book you finish in one sitting and miss the next morning.
