Her latest novel The Honest Assassin, the third book in the Jay McCaulay series, was reviewed by Booklist in 2010: Another nail-biting suspense thriller... plenty of unsettling twists and turns, a high-octane plot and a flashy but appealing heroine make this an excellent choice.

The first Jay McCaulay book, Gone Without Trace, a thriller about human trafficking, has been described as "a terrific page-turner" by Harlan Coben (May 2007), and "an exciting adventure" by the Literary Review (August 2007). In December 2007, the TLS said: "Well-researched, shocking, moving and exciting, Gone Without Trace shows that a British writer can take on the most vigorous of the Americans." Lee Child, one of the top thriller writers in the world, commented: "Hard, fast and read - a solid 'A' grade thriller with a tremendous story and a great lead character." (July 2007).

Caroline has experienced thrills and spills herself. In 1992, she took part in the London to Saigon Motoring Challenge, where she and her co-driver were the only all-female crew on a 63-day, 12,500-mile journey. In 1993, she fell into freelance writing and, since then, has worked locally while travelling and writing. She has driven from London to Cape Town and put another 14,000 miles of rallying roads under her belt through South America. She blames her love of adventure on her parents; her mother set the land speed record in Australia and her father was a jet fighter pilot.
