Eleanor Roosevelt Mysteries

The son of the American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eliot Roosevelt was a well regarded author of mystery fiction during his lifetime. Known for his down-to-earth nature and warm wit, he would go on to become a writer, with his first book being published in 1984. Working in the Army Air Forces prior to this, he would gain a vast amount of experience throughout the entirety of his life. Spending most of his writing career dedicated to writing about his mother, Eleanor Roosevelt, he would write mystery novels based around her serving as First Lady. Set mostly in the White House, the ‘Eleanor Roosevelt Mystery’ series of novels would come to define the majority of his career. They would also continue for over ten years following his death in 1990, all thanks to them being hugely popular during their initial run.
