Like Meredith Mitchell, Ann Granger has worked in British embassies around the world. She met her husband, who was also working for the British Embassy, in Prague, and together they received postings to places as far apart as Munich and Lusaka. They are now permanently based in Bicester, England, near Oxford. A Restless Evil is Ann's fourteenth Mitchell and Markby mystery. She is currently at work on the fifteenth.
