Wendy Hornsby is the author of eight critically praised mysteries,
six of them about Maggie MacGowen. She has been awarded a
short-story Edgar as well as a French literary prize, besides
nominations for other French and American mystery writing awards.
She lives in Southern California, where she teaches European
history as a professor at Long Beach City College.
She likens the study and teaching of history, her day job, to the
writing of mysteries. She says, History, mystery, same process;
snooping around among the remains of dead people, finding
questions, looking for answers.
... gripped me and didn't let go ... she nails France with savoir
faire and perfect detail ... Tough and idealistic, Maggie is a
heroine we want in our corner. -- Cara Black, Murder in the Palais
Royal
The joy of Hornsby's books has always been as much her characters
as the story itself. The Paramour's Daughter delivers her
characteristic subtlety and truth. -- S.J. Rozan, The Shanghai Moon
