PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Peter Lovesey was born in Middlesex and studied at Hampton Grammar School and Reading University, where he met his wife Jax. He won a competition with his first crime fiction novel, Wobble to Death, and has never looked back, with his numerous books winning and being shortlisted for nearly all the prizes in the international crime writing world. He was Chairman of the Crime Writers' Association and has been presented with Lifetime Achievement awards both in the UK and the US.
Lovesey has a special flair for re-creating Victorian England with to-the-manner-born wit. I love Lovesey * Saturday Review * For a delightful, offbeat offering in the mystery field try Peter Lovesey's Abracadaver * San Francisco Examiner * It's a tangled business, both evil and intricate. Very much Grade A * John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine * Sinister fun in splendidly atmospheric setting * Sunday Telegraph * Music hall's heyday lovingly recalled as Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray cope with limelit poisoning and Victorian permissiveness . . . thoroughly entertaining - Guardian * Guardian *
