Elizabeth George
(EXCERPTS)
People unfamiliar with the works of Elizabeth George wonder how it is that an American-born author, who resides in the United States, can be considered a “master of the English Mystery.” Her millions of fans around the world, who eagerly await each Inspector Lynley novel, know that it is because of her unique ability to capture the feel of an area—what George calls “a sense of place”—and then render it to her readers.
Her first novel, A Great Deliverance (), introduced readers to aristocratic Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley (Eighth earl of Asherton) and his working-class sidekick Detective Constable Barbara Havers. The novel quickly made it to the New York Times Best-Seller List and went on to earn several awards, including an Edgar nomination from Mystery Writers of America, an Anthony award, an Agatha award, and France’s Le Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.
All of her subsequent novels in the Lynley series have been best-sellers and are remarkable for their intricate plots, multi-dimensional characters and realistic but chilling explorations of the criminal mind. Throughout 20 years and 15 novels, George’s work has never grow
