Author Information

Elizabeth Daly (1878-1967) published her first mystery novel at the age of sixty-two, and then went on to write fifteen more--a charming series set in 1940s New York, in a style reminiscent of the British Golden Age. They feature a gentleman sleuth who is a rare books expert and handwriting specialist, and who solves crimes in his free time. Agatha Christie was a fan, and was noted to have declared Daly her favorite American author. Daly's novels are satisfying classic mysteries that also serve as astute depictions of a New York society that was on the point of vanishing. She received an Edgar award in 1961 for her body of work.
