Murdering Americans (Robert Amiss Series #11)

Baroness Troutbeck leaps at an invitation to become a Distinguished Visiting Professor on an American campus. With her head full of romantic fantasies inspired by 1950s Hollywood, and accompanied by her parrot, she sets off from England.

The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio

Ruth Dudley Edwards s rollicking satirical mysteries have heretofore been confined to the British Isles, but now that Murdering Americans has gotten around to American academia, we can expect to hear howls from the heartland.

Since 1993 Ruth has written seriously and/or frivolously for almost every national newspaper in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom and appears frequently on radio and television in Ireland, the UK and on the BBC World Service. Ruth feels both Irish and English and greatly enjoys being part of both cultures. The Anglo-Irish Murders, her ninth crime novel, is a satire on the peace process. Three times a bridesmaid, she has been shortlisted by the Crime Writers Association for the John Creasey Award for the best first novel and twice for the Last Laugh award for the funniest crime novel of the year.
