Joyce Porter was born in Cheshire, England and educated at King's College, London. In 1949 she joined the Women's Royal Air Force, and, on the strength of an intensive course in Russian, qualified for confidential work in intelligence. Porter became best known for her series of novels featuring Detective Inspector Wilfred Dover.
"""Something quite out of the ordinary."" Daily Telegraph ""Joyce Porter is a joy... Dover is unquestionably the most entertaining detective in fiction."" Guardian ""Plotted with the technique of a virtuoso."" New York Times ""Wonderfully funny."" Spectator ""Dover is wildly, joyously unbelievable; and may he remain so for our comic delight."" Sun ""You will be fascinated by his sheer dazzling incompetence. Porter has a keen eye, a wicked sense of comedy, and a delightfully low mind."" Harper's"
