J.A. Lang

J.A. Lang is a British author of the Chef Maurice cozy mystery series of novels that have become some of most popular short stories in this decade. The series is set in Costwold village Beakley, a fictional setting in England that is within driving distance of the city of Oxford. The first novel of the series was “Chef Maurice and a Spot of Truffle” that was first published in 2015. “Chef Maurice and the Rather Fishy Tale”, a prequel published in 2014 took the form of a short story and was only recently included in the series. Not much is known about J.A. Lang though she has asserted that she is a great fan of the works of Terry Pratchett, P.G. Wodehouse, and Agatha Christie. When she is not writing her intriguing Chef Maurice Mystery series she can be found drinking good wine, eating, thinking about her next meal, traveling to places with great food, and cooking. She loves to assert that any similarities between Chef Maurice the amateur sleuth and herself are pure coincidence. She currently lives with her husband among a pile of cookbooks and Bob, her sourdough starter.
