Lizzie Bentham grew up in Merseyside, England and now lives in the West Midlands with her surgeon husband and two small children. When she isn’t watching cartoons, playing with dinosaurs and making slime, she enjoys walks in the countryside, reading, flower-arranging and crocheting. In her Red Brick Mystery series, she combines her love of all things academic, with another of her passions – murder mystery novels from the golden age of crime writing. Murder In Her First Degree, Murder By The Book and Dying To Get To The Truth, have recently been published by Sharpe Books. They are set in the 1930s at different red brick universities.
