Born in England, MAUREEN JENNINGS taught English before becoming a psychotherapist. The first Detective Murdoch mystery was published in 1997. Six more followed, all to enthusiastic reviews. In 2003, Shaftesbury Films adapted three of the novels into movies of the week, and four years later the Murdoch Mysteries TV series was created; it is now shown around the world, including in the UK, the United States, and much of Europe. In Canada, CBC television is carrying on the series beginning in Fall 2012. Her new trilogy, set in World War II-era England, got off to a spectacular start with 2011's Season of Darkness, followed by Beware this Boy in Fall 2012. Maureen lives in Toronto with her husband and their dog and cat. Visit www.maureenjennings.com.
Praise for Maureen Jennings and A Journeyman to Grief
"Jennings's best to date. . . . The excellent plot takes us
into the unknown (to most readers, I think) history of the small
black community in 19th-century Toronto. How they came there, how
they lived, is as engrossing as the mystery . . . of the abducted
bride." - Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail
"Jennings is a master at drawing out her characters." - Victoria
Times-Colonist
"A surprisingly tender tale of slavery, addiction, violence and
revenge served ice-cold." - Kirkus Reviews
"Within a few pages . . . we are firmly and happily ensconced in
the late-19th-century world Jennings has created. . . . First-time
readers can enjoy this as a standalone novel, and we will have the
additional pleasure of knowing there are six more Detective Murdoch
novels waiting to be read." - Quill and Quire
