This British author has been around a lot longer than J.K. Rowling - she may not be as well known but her books are certainly worth taking a look at. Her early books are fun but she seems to have really hit her stride with her recent detective novels.
Background
"Behind the Scenes at the Museum" won the 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year award and caught the interest of readers in the British Commonwealth countries.
But it took "Case Histories" (2004) to catch the attention of the American audiences.
The New York Times just gave her latest novel, "When will there be good news?" , a rave review.
