EspañolELIZABETH GEORGE
'Susan Elizabeth George' (born February 26, 1949) is an American author of a number of mystery novels set in Great Britain. Eleven of her novels featuring Inspector Lynley have been adapted for television by the BBC as ''The Inspector Lynley Mysteries''.
She was born in Warren, Ohio, but moved to the San Francisco Bay Area when she was eighteen months old. She was a student of English, receiving a teaching certificate. While teaching English in the public school system, she completed an advanced degree in psychology.
Her first published novel was ''A Great Deliverance'' in 1988, the first of the novels featuring Thomas Lynley, Lord Asherton, a Scotland Yard inspector of noble birth; Barbara Havers, Lynley's assistant, from a very working-class background; Lady Helen Clyde, Lynley's girlfriend and later wife, of noble birth as well; and Lynley's friends Simon and Deborah St. James.
Whilst well written and with good character observation, there are often "howlers" in terms of British customs and inappropriate use of words and phrases, such as the Laura Ashley Tea Caddy (rather than Cosy) famously used to keep a tea pot warm.
