I come from a family of secrets. When I was ten years old I learned that the man I thought was a distant cousin was in fact my half-brother. Later I learned I also had a half-sister. Whether this sort of thing led to my becoming a crime writer, I can't say, but it probably helped. From my official writer bio: Agatha Award-winning G.M. Malliet is the acclaimed author of three traditional mystery series and a standalone novel. The first entry in the DCI St. Just series, Death of a Cozy Writer, won the Agatha Award for Best First Novel and was nominated for numerous awards, including the Macavity and Anthony. The Rev. Max Tudor series has been nominated for many awards as have several of her short stories collected in anthologies and appearing in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and The Strand. She was a graduate student at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford and now lives on the East Coast of the US with her husband.
