Jackie Baldwin

Jackie Baldwin is a renowned Scottish author of thriller, mystery, and crime fiction novels and an ex-criminal lawyer. She is best known for writing the DI Frank Farrel series. Baldwin made her debut with the 2016 book called Dead Man’s Prayer and has gone to publish two more books after that. She says that she had developed the urge to become an author when she was seven years old. Her beginning at school was a rocky one as she was slow at reading and all other pupils in her class were way ahead of her. It was later found out that Baldwin was extremely short-sighted and also had a slight problem with hearing. Her parents sought help from a doctor and after two successful operations and getting spectacles, Baldwin found herself on the right track to read and write. She used to sit in the cafe owned by her parents during the holidays and read as many books as could that she used to bring from the library.
