Review
Adroit, inspiring, and written with a rare lightness of touch -- The London Times Literary Supplement
Amiss is bumblingly appealing and howlingly funny. -- The Chicago Sun Times
Believable plotting, a memorable cast of characters, and three beguiling sleuths in a warm, gently raunchy, crisp, and literate caper. -- Kirkus Reviews
Quirky, highly intelligent, and thoroughly entertaining.... -- The Washington Post Book World
About the Author
Dr Ruth Dudley Edwards was born and brought up in Dublin, Ireland. Since she graduated she has lived in England, where she has been a teacher, a Cambridge postgraduate student, a marketing executive, a civil servant and, finally, a freelance writer, journalist and broadcaster.An historian and prize-winning biographer, her recent non-fiction includes the authorized history of The Economist, a portrait of the British Foreign Office and a book about the newspaper world of the mid-twentieth century. She uses her knowledge of the British establishment in her satirical crime novels: targets so far include the civil service, gentlemen's clubs, Cambridge colleges, the House of Lords, the Church of England, publishing, literary prizes and - always - political correctness. She has three times been short-listed for awards from the Crime Writers' Association. www.ruthdudleyedwards.com
