Betty Rowlands
Betty Rowlands (1923-2020) burst onto the crime scene in her mid sixties by winning the Sunday Express / Veuve Clicquot Crime Short Story of the Year Competition, which shows it’s never too late to start writing. She lived in the heart of the Cotswolds, where her Melissa Craig mysteries are set, and then in Bristol, where her Sukey Reynolds series occurs.
