Cari Hunter lives in the northwest of England with her wife, their cats, and a field full of sheep. She works full-time as a paramedic and dreams up stories in her spare time.

Cari enjoys long, wind-swept, muddy walks in her beloved Peak District. In the summer she can usually be found sitting in the garden with her feet up, scribbling in her writing pad. Although she doesn’t like to boast, she will admit that she makes a very fine Bakewell Tart.

Desolation Point Deleted Scenes

I dipped into Desolation Point a few weeks ago while I was on my hols. It’s not my favourite of mine by a long shot, but I do still have a lil’ crush on Sarah so it’s fun to occasionally flick through it. Anyway, not a lot of folks know this, but the published book is missing about 8000 words from its ending. They were cut during editing and they’re a mixture of “yes, these are very self-indulgent

Cari Hunter answered J Kromrie's question: I don't have a question, I just wanted you to know that I am addicted to your Jo Shaw series. I am halfway through The Stolen Girl (Netgalley eARC) and it is awesome. I am already dreading finishing it, as with the very best novels, the characters become almost like friends- ?Thanks so much, this is the most awesome book. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a note! It's lovely to get such enthusiastic feedback. I love Jo and her motley crew, they're such good fun to write and I couldn't be happier that I've been able to hang out with them for the last couple o See Full Answer

“He might not have been the brightest spark on the TAU, but he knew how to kick a door down,”
― Cari Hunter, Cold to the Touch

“I was fully intending to cook you something complicated and delicious,” Meg said. “But then I started to watch this nature documentary, and a fluffy baby seal was being chased by a polar bear, so I muted it and shut my eyes, and when I woke up it was two hours later. How does soup and toasties grab you?”
― Cari Hunter, A Quiet Death

“You can’t possibly be thinking of sending him home! He can barely walk.” Meg’s smile began to slip. Ambulance crews were queuing almost out the door, and all this lad needed was a stat dose of Man-the-Fuck-Up.”
