G.M. Malliet is the award-winning author of four St. Just mysteries, seven Max Tudor mysteries, the suspense novel WEYCOMBE, and numerous short stories collected in crime anthologies or published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (EQMM) and The Strand. The latest short stories in EQMM are "The Pact" (2023) and "Something Blue" (2022). A new mystery series (AUGUSTA HAWKE) debuted in July 2022 and an 8th Max Tudor (THE WASHING AWAY OF WRONGS) arrives in 2023 from Little, Brown.
She is represented by literary agent Mark Gottlieb of Trident Media Group, New York, NY. Contact information for Mr. Gottlieb can be found at gmmalliet.com/contact.html.
She was born into a military family and moved frequently during her childhood, which nurtured her love of travel. She has a B.A. in journalism and an M.A. in organizational psychology; she also received an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge in the U.K. and did further graduate study at Oxford University. Her main field of interest is the psychology of the creative mind.
She worked as a journalist and copywriter for USA TODAY, Thomson Publishing and PBS, pursuing novel writing in her free time. In 2008 her award-winning first mystery DEATH OF A COZY WRITER was published and fiction writing became her full-time career. She has since published dozens of books and short stories.
Along with five Agatha and three Anthony nominations, her work has been shortlisted for the Macavity, Left Coast Crime, IPPY, Daphne, David, Derringer, and Dilys awards. The audio version of her second novel (DEATH AND THE LIT CHICK), read by Davina Porter, was a 2014 Anthony nominee. She has been a finalist three times for the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Readers' Choice Award.
Her series from Macmillan and Little/Brown featuring Max Tudor, a former MI5 agent turned vicar of a small English village, debuted in the autumn of 2011 with WICKED AUTUMN. Of the fourth book in the series, Cleveland.com raved: "[Malliet] may be the best mystery author writing in English at the moment (along with Tana French). She's certainly the most entertaining."
Her standalone suspense novel WEYCOMBE appeared in October 2017. She donated $5000 of the proceeds from sales of the book to the American Red Cross, to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey and other natural disasters.
Many of her short stories are being readied for re-publication: Her short story, "Whiteout," was nominated for a 2020 Macavity award. In 2021 she was nominated for a Derringer for her EQMM novella, "A Murder at Morehead Mews."
She is a former board member of Sisters in Crime National and a member of Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and the U.K.'s Crime Writers' Association.
