G. M. Malliet
G.M. Malliet is the Agatha Award-winning author of the St. Just and Max Tudor mysteries as well as the standalone suspense novel WEYCOMBE. She lives on the East Coast of the US but all of her books are set in the UK, her home away from home for part of every year.
She received an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge and did further graduate work at Oxford University. Upon her return to the US, determined to pursue her lifelong dream of being a published author, she began rising at 4 a.m. to write her short stories and novels before the start of her day job. After the unexpected success of her first book, she left a career writing for corporations like USA Today and PBS to focus full time on her own writing. With five Agatha and three Anthony nominations, she’s also been shortlisted for the Macavity, Left Coast Crime, IPPY, Daphne, David, and Dilys awards. The audio version of her second novel, read by Davina Porter, was a 2014 Anthony nominee.
Her short stories have appeared in several anthologies, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, and The Strand. She still regards the short story as the most difficult yet satisfying form of writing.
