Stephen Kelly
1983
The historical writer Stephen Kelly is an American author who draws from many of the greats when it comes to creating his own unique brand of mystery novel. Creating large and inventive worlds, he really gets to the heart of his subject matter, allowing his material to ultimately speak for itself. Keeping the reader invested in the action, he allows them to feel as if if they’re a part of it too, really bringing them into the story. This is especially the case with his ‘Inspector Lamb’ series of novels, as they follow the eponymous detective as he goes about his cases and investigations. This has become a highly sought after franchise over the years too, giving him a worldwide following of readers from all manner of different backgrounds.
