Elizabeth George – November 8, 2015

Award-winning novelist Elizabeth George is creator of the bestselling Inspector Lynley mysteries. George introduces listeners to A Banquet of Consequences, the19th book in the series.

Since many readers first encountered Scotland Yard’s dapper Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and his down-to-earth partner, Sergeant Barbara Havers on PBS’ British produced Masterpiece Mystery TV shows on KRCB Channel 22, listeners may be surprised to learn that Elizabeth George is American and a former Orange County “Teacher of the Year” for her work as a high school English teacher. She now lives on picturesque Whidbey Island in Washington state.

In 1988, Elizabeth’s first mystery novel, A Great Deliverance won an Edgar and Agatha Award as well as France’s Le Garnde Prix de Literature Policier. Elizabeth also has a 4-book, YA paranormal/mystery/romance series that takes place (not surprisngly) on Whidbey Island. The first of these, The Edge of Nowhere introduces us to the resilient young Becca King.

Host: Gil Mansergh.
