About the Author

Since 1993 Ruth has written seriously and/or frivolously for almost every national newspaper in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom and appears frequently on radio and television in Ireland, the UK and on the BBC World Service. Ruth feels both Irish and English and greatly enjoys being part of both cultures. The Anglo-Irish Murders, her ninth crime novel, is a satire on the peace process. Three times a bridesmaid, she has been shortlisted by the Crime Writers Association for the John Creasey Award for the best first novel and twice for the Last Laugh award for the funniest crime novel of the year. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From AudioFile

Journalist, historian, and author Ruth Dudley Edwards composed this entertaining murder mystery, one of several in the Robert Amiss series. Civil servant Amiss embarks upon a new job in the British Conservation Society. A few months into his employ and precisely on Saint Valentine's Day, a multiple murderer strikes co-workers and their families in a subtle but deadly manner. Bill Wallis voices a lighthearted and quizzical Amiss. His English accent complements each gender and is especially accurate at portraying the characters as individuals: investigators, romantic interests, bereaved family members, and prospective suspects. Humorously satiric, yet stately and serious, this story offers pleasurable listening. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: The Saint Valentine's Day Murders (Robert Amiss Mysteries) (Paperback)

Good story, well drawn characters. The plot is twisty. Fun as well as a bit nerve racking as I plowed along trying to figure it all out. Will look for more of this writers work.
