About the Book

There's drama at the opera house when a baritone plummets to his death during a dress rehearsal for Gounod's Faust; a threatened assassination mars a state dinner for the US vice-president; and a murder at sea is solved through the curious incident of the boat dog in the night. Elizabeth Elwood's mystery stories have won comparisons to classic writers in the genre, including Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers. The Devil Gets His Due and Other Mystery Stories is the fifth book in her series, and it continues the story of feisty city councillor, Bertram Beary, his opera-singing daughter, Philippa, and his detective-inspector son, Richard. In the title story, murder occurs at the opera during a snowy Vancouver winter, and only the sad, fragmented memories of an elderly lady provide the clue as to why the death occurred. Another tale takes the Bearys to Montreal, where they meet an outspoken newspaper columnist and help her solve a haunting mystery with eerie echoes from the past. There are summer tales of villainy set on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast; another murder is solved through a persistent group of ladies on the Internet; and in the final novella, a headless corpse in the Missouri river turns Philippa Beary's trip to Fort Benton into a sinister ordeal as she meets a disturbing wall of silence from the citizens of the fascinating historical town known as the birthplace of Montana. With eight enthralling tales to keep readers guessing, The Devil Gets His Due and Other Mystery Stories will provide intrigue, romance, and challenging puzzles to delight the most avid mystery enthusiast.
About the Author: ELIZABETH ELWOOD: Born in England, Elizabeth came to Canada in 1957. She graduated from West Vancouver High School and went on to get a degree in English at UBC, where she also trained in the Opera Workshop. After graduation, she worked as an English/Drama teacher, sang in the Vancouver Opera Chorus, and performed roles with Lower Mainland musical and theatre groups. In 1992, with husband, Hugh, Elizabeth formed Elwoodettes Marionettes and subsequently created twenty marionette musicals for the company. After mounting the marionette productions, Elizabeth turned her hand to writing for live actors. Her first play, Casting for Murder, was produced in 2000 by the Vagabond Players in New Westminster. Since then, it has been staged all across Canada and will have its US premiere in 2017. Her three subsequent plays, Renovations, Shadow of Murder and Body and Soul, have also enjoyed highly successful productions. Elizabeth began writing The Beary Mystery series after the success of her first play, which introduced the character of Bertram Beary. She has now published five books of mystery stories based around the feisty councillor who was so popular with audiences when Casting for Murder was first produced. The mystery books draw on her varied experiences in theatre, travel, boating, politics and education and have received high praise for their smart plotting, wit and style.
