Ann Granger

Ann Granger is a British crime writer whose cosy mysteries set in the English countryside have built a devoted readership over more than thirty years and numerous bestselling series. Born in Portsmouth, she spent time working abroad, including stints in Africa and the Middle East, before settling in the Cotswolds — the landscape that inspires much of her fiction. Granger's series include the Mitchell & Markby mysteries, the Fran Varady series, the Campbell & Carter mysteries, and the Victorian-set Inspector Ben Ross series. A Matter of Murder is a Campbell & Carter investigation set in the fictional Cotswold village of Weston St Ambrose, where a seemingly idyllic rural community hides darker secrets. Her fiction combines well-plotted mysteries with sharp observation of English village life, where feuds, gossip, and long-buried resentments can prove deadly. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers classic British cosy crime — mysteries where the village green is as dangerous as any dark alley, and the most murderous impulses hide behind the most respectable facades.
