Come in darling, it’s perishing out there. So wonderful to see you, and in such auspicious circumstances. A new society  Read More...

Fliss Chester lives in a little village in West Sussex, and writes historical cozy crime. When she is not killing people off in her 1920s and 1940s whodunnits, she helps her husband, who is a wine merchant, run their family business. This means she's never far from a decent glass of something, which makes her very happy indeed.

Before writing her two cozy crime series, she wrote fun and flirty romances - the sort of thing that might make your mother blush. Not hers though, as it was her mother who always encouraged her to be 'anything you want, darling, as long as it's not dull'. Hopefully readers will attest to the fact that whether it's death by cyanide or a smooch in a hot tub, there's nothing dull about Fliss's books.

The current series that Fliss is working on is the Hon Cressida Fawcett Mysteries Series. Our heroine, Cressida, is a fun-loving heiress in 1920s England - though when she's not propping up the cocktail bar at The Savoy, she's helping people with their interior decorating projects. Through her love of decorating, and the fact she keeps tripping over dead bodies, she realises that her eye for design means she has an eye for a crime too. Why not pick up the series with the first book, Death Among the Diamonds, and join Cressida for a martini and a murder!
