Reviews

""A host of wonderful characters"" --Gloucestershire Echo ""A most enjoyable read, right down to the classic gathering of all the suspects, at which the killer and the motive are revealed"" --Publishers Weekly ""Entertaining...imbued with wit and brio"" --Baltimore Sun ""Filled with delicious characters"" --Atlanta Journal ""Graham surely knows her way around the village mystery, touching on all its earmarks: the gossip, the small-mindedness, the noses in everybody's business. And her theatrics ring true."" --Kirkus ""Lots of excellent character sketches, and the dialogue is lively and convincing"" --The Independent ""Superlative...a novel of remarkable depth"" --Jackson Clarion-Ledger

Author Information

Caroline Graham was born in Warwickshire, UK, on July 17, 1931. Graham received a degree in theater writing from the University of Birmingham, but she held a number of jobs before settling on writing. She attended ballet school in Paris, ran a marriage bureau, worked in a factory, served in the Royal Navy, and worked as an actress and radio broadcaster, among other things. After attempting a variety of genres, including writing for the long-running British series Crossroads, Graham wrote the first Barnaby novel, The Killings at Badger's Drift, which was an instant hit and was eventually selected by the Crime Writers' Association as one of the hundred best crime novels of all time. Starting in 1997, the Barnaby books were adapted into the immensely successful television series Midsomer Murders; the author herself has cameos in some early episodes, and it's still running now! Graham lives in Suffolk, England.
