Autorenporträt
Eunice Mays Boyd (1902-1971) Eunice was an award-winning mystery writer during the Golden Age of Agatha Christie. Her books are intelligent, cozy whodunnit murder mysteries with many twists and turns. She loved to read mysteries and prided herself in identifying the murderer well before the end. After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1924, she moved to Alaska where she based the F. Millard Smyth mystery series: MURDER BREAKS TRAIL (1943), DOOM IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN (1943), and MURDER WEARS MUKLUKS (1945). A fourth book in the series, ONE PAW WAS RED will be forthcoming. She co-authored THE MARBLE FOREST that was made into the movie "Macabre" (1958). Eunice's new vintage murder mysteries were discovered fifty years after her death. DUNE HOUSE (2021) and SLAY BELLS (2021) are set in San Francisco. A VACATION TO KILL FOR (2022) takes place in France.
