MAUREEN JENNINGS was born in the UK and emigrated to Canada as a teenager. After a long career as a psychotherapist, she became an award-winning writer. She is the author of four series in the crime fiction genre—Christine Morris, Tom Tyler, Murdoch Mysteries, and Charlotte Frayne P.I.—as well as a book on creativity, one novella, and four plays. The Murdoch Mystery series has been adapted into the beloved television series Murdoch Mysteries shown in over 120 territories worldwide, and the Tom Tyler series served as the inspiration for the television series Bomb Girls. In 2011, Jennings was the recipient of the Grant Allen Award for her contribution to Canadian crime writing. She lives in Toronto with her husband and their dog, Murdoch.
"Exciting. . . . Full of passion about the seedy abuses of
Victorian society. I couldn't put it down." —Hamilton Spectator
"Mystery lovers can be assured that the culprit is plausible, the
clues fair, the tea strong and the pace brisk." —Globe and Mail
"Jennings immerses her readers in the Toronto of the 1890s. The
smells, sights, and sounds she describes ring as true as if she
were recounting a trip she'd made there last week." —Quill & Quire
