Betty Hechtman

An American author well known for her cosy brand of mysteries, Betty Hechtman has been writing for a number of years now and, having grown up in the south side of Chicago, went on to become a household name for many, both nationally and internationally. With her warm style and gentle sense of wit and good humor, she keeps her readers engaged through her finely crafted characters and well paced mysteries that maintain a sense of intrigue and suspense throughout. Whilst the genre with all its well worn codes and conventions could easily slip into cliché, in her hands she is able to place enough of a twist on them in order to bring about something new and interesting.
