Brigid has a diverse professional background, having worked as a teacher, solicitor, and criminal barrister. Immersed in a world of crime and having authored numerous legal articles, she was inevitably drawn to the realm of crime fiction. Surprisingly, this literary world wasnโt so dissimilar from the reality of the crimes she encountered in her everyday work. Born in Glasgow to a Scottish father and Irish mother, she moved to the North of England as a teenager. She has a son and now lives in Greater Manchester.
