About Minette

Miles away from the "cosy" confines of preconceived notions of what an English murder-mystery author should be, Minette Walters can be found, glass of wine in hand, explaining the finer details of plumbing in a larder sink...

Web bookmarks for Minette's research can run the gamut from brain trauma to the anti-war campaign, paedophilia and racist propaganda...

And, along with husband Alec, she's only too happy to engage in 'full and frank' conversations about any topic you care to name, punctuated at regular intervals by her infectious laugh and reprimands for her omnivorous Golden Retrievers...
