George Bellairs

George Bellairs was the pen name of Harold Blundell (1902–1982), a British crime fiction author who wrote over fifty detective novels featuring Inspector Littlejohn. His books and audiobooks, including Death of a Busybody, are classic British whodunits set in small towns and villages, blending clever plotting with dry humour and atmospheric settings. Bellairs worked as a bank manager by day while producing his popular mystery series, and his novels have enjoyed a revival through audiobook editions that introduce his charming, old-fashioned detective stories to new generations of listeners.
