Clare Blanchard writes crime noir mysteries set mainly in the wine country of Central Europe, where her two detectives, Dvorska and Dambersky, are based. But they wander around quite a bit as well, turning up in the United Kingdom and Spain. Her crime stories also have a strong historical thread running through them. Finally, she writes historical mysteries and is in the process, as of this writing in July 2018, of finishing up the edits on one now.
