Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full-time. He is the author of more than one hundred books, including the much-loved Fethering mysteries, Charles Paris series and the Decluttering mysteries as well as the Mrs Pargeter novels. In 2014, he was awarded the Crime Writers' Association's prestigious Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence and contribution to crime writing, and in the 2016 New Year's Honours he was awarded an OBE 'for services to literature'. Married with three grown-up children, six grandchildren and a ginger cat called Douglas, he lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South Downs.
