Claire Booth is a distinguished American author, well-known for her unique take on the crime genre and her experience as a prolific ghostwriter. She has a background in journalism, having worked as a reporter for over a decade. During this time, she gained extensive experience covering real-life case studies, which has greatly influenced her work. Booth's unique perspective and distinctive insight into the world of crime are evident in her true-crime books, which are the result of years of research.
Booth has covered a wide range of high-profile cases throughout her career, including the theft of the Aston Martin used in the James Bond film Goldfinger, the Laci Peterson murder, and the San Francisco dog mauling case. One of her most notable cases was that of Taylor Helzer, a Northern California man who convinced two followers he was a prophet of God and orchestrated a quintuple murder in the name of their end-of-days scheme. This case served as the basis for Booth's first book, the non-fiction "The False Prophet: Conspiracy, Extortion and Murder in the Name of God."
After years of covering real-world crimes, Booth decided to turn to fiction and created the Sheriff Hank Worth mystery series, which takes place in Branson, Missouri. The series explores the complex interplay between small-town Ozark politics and big-city country music tourism. Booth's latest novel in the series is "Dangerous Consequences." In addition to her work as an author, Booth also maintains a website where readers can learn more about her, her books, and some of the true crimes she has covered.
