Re: RARA-AVIS: Minette Walters

Here's what I know through several sources: Minette Walters was born in 1949 Her first book was published in 1992, and won an Award, as did the two following: THE ICE HOUSE (1992)- John Creasey Award, Best first novel THE SCULPTRESS (1993? ) - American Edgar Award, 1994 THE SCOLD'S BRIDLE (1994) - Gold Dagger Award (UK)

THE SHAPE OF SNAKES (2001)

She does not do series (at least until now). Years of publication (based on the UK) have to be double checked and, as far as I know, she has published 6 novels (until 2000?) and 1 novella, but I do not have the complete list. BBC adapted a few of her novels for TV.

Hope this helps?
