About the author
Liz Brady
10 books4 followersLiz Brady is the author of the Jane Yeats mystery series, set in Toronto. Jane is a true-crime writer, the daughter of a geriatric bimbo who owns a country music bar, a hard-boiled recluse, and an avenging angel with an attitude. She bounds from her desk onto her Harley to hunt down the bad guys. The first in the series, Bad Date, won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
After getting her Honours B.A. and M.A. from the University of Western Ontario, she received her Ph.D. for her dissertation on Virginia Woolf from University College, University of London. Ignoring the advice of academic friends that she write her crime fiction under a pseudonym (to avoid sullying her “literary” credentials), Liz remains convinced that some of the best writing coming out of this country is penned by our crime writers.
Liz has also published two non-fiction books, as well as numerous poems, short stories, articles and book reviews. After a brief teaching career, she served on the editorial collective of Fireweed and for many years was managing editor of Canadian Woman Studies. She supports her writing habit by working as a freelance editor and graphic designer.
She is the new Executive Director of Crime Writers of Canada.
Born in Toronto and resident for many years in Toronto’s Little Italy, Liz enjoys reading, listening to the blues, gardening, and hoisting a pint of good ale in a neighbourhood pub.

This 3rd Jane Yeats book is the best so far, which says a lot as I loved loved loved 1 and 2.
Jane is a tough cookie, smart, funny, acerbic, and bang-on in her assessments of the low-lifes and high-rollers she meets as she cracks the case.
