De Beauvoir, Jeannette: - Bestselling author Jeannette de Beauvoir writes mystery and historical fiction (and often books at the intersection of the two) that uncover dark secrets and hidden truths, and explore a sense of connection to place. A Book Sense Book-of-the-Year finalist, she's a member of the Authors Guild, the Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the National Writers Union. Her delight is to find characters true to the spaces in which they live. She herself lives and writes in a cottage in Provincetown, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and loves the collection of people who assemble at a place like Land's End.
