About the author

Janice Law (b. 1941) is an acclaimed author of mystery fiction. The Watergate scandal inspired her to write her first novel, The Big Payoff (1977), which introduced Anna Peters, a street-smart young woman who blackmails her boss, a corrupt oil executive. The novel was a success, winning an Edgar nomination, and Law went on to write eight more in the series, including Death Under Par (1980) and Cross-Check (1997).

After Death Under Par, Law set aside the character for several years to write historical mysteries The Countess (1989) and All the King’s Ladies (1986). After concluding the Peters series, she wrote three stand-alone suspense novels: The Night Bus (2000), The Lost Diaries of Iris Weed (2002), and Voices (2003). Since then, Law has focused on writing short stories, many of which appear in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. Fires of London (2012) is her most recent novel. She lives and writes in Connecticut.

Reviews

[Jenn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like my cozy mysteries with a cozy private eye. Or a regular Joe who stumbles and fumbles over the solution. This one had a very hard, stern lady who runs security as a living. I can’t say I liked her very much. She didn’t care who she hurt with her questions or what danger she may be putting others in. In a nutshell, she wasn’t very likable. Her husband, in the other hand, I liked and yet he played s very small part in this mystery.

I'm gonna be real I still don't fully understand what happened ... but alas this is often the case for me with any mystery.
