  <about><![CDATA[Agatha Award-winning author G.M. Malliet is a former journalist and copywriter. She was awarded the Malice Domestic Grant for her mystery Death of a Cozy Writer, which went on to win the Agatha and was picked by Kirkus Reviews as one of the best books of 2008. The book also has been nominated for the Anthony and Macavity awards (best first novel), and the Left Coast Crime/Hawaii 5-0 award for best police procedural.

Malliet attended Oxford University and holds a graduate degree from the University of Cambridge (the setting for the St. Just mysteries). 

The second book in the St. Just series is Death and the Lit Chick, which received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist.
