We’ve lost a great one. Peter Lovesey died yesterday. He was a Diamond Dagger award winner and received the Grand Master Award from Mystery Writers of America. Janet Rudolph published a beautiful tribute to Lovesey on her blog, Mystery Fanfare – https://bit.ly/3FY7CRs.
Lovesey was the author of Sergeant Cribb mysteries; Bertie, Prince of Wales; and the Superintendent Peter Diamond books. He also wrote books as Peter Lear. You can find many of his books through the Webstore, https://bit.ly/42go5Yo.
We’re all going to miss Peter Lovesey, but I know Barbara Peters, owner of The Poisoned Pen, was a friend of his. She did a wonderful interview with him when his last book was released, Against the Grain.
Peter Lovesey was the author of more than forty highly praised mystery novels including the Peter Diamond investigations and the Sergeant Cribb investigations. He has been honored with the two highest awards in mystery fiction, Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America and the Cartier Diamond Dagger of the Crime Writers’ Association as well as many other international accolades. He lived in Shrewsbury, England.
Peter Lovesey, may he rest in peace.
