Elizabeth Flynn

Elizabeth Flynn is a British crime writer. She is best known for the Detective Inspector Angela Costello mystery series, which begins with Game, Set and Murder (2014). Her novels are traditional detective stories set mainly in London and southern England.

Elizabeth Flynn was born in London to an Anglo-Irish family. Before becoming a novelist, she worked as an actress. She later spent many years as a bereavement officer in a hospital. Alongside her professional career, she developed an interest in crime fiction and began writing detective novels.

Her first published novel, Game, Set and Murder, was released in 2014 and introduced Detective Inspector Angela Costello. The story begins on the first day of the Wimbledon Championships, when a former Grand Slam champion is found dead on Court 18. Recently promoted, Costello leads the investigation through Wimbledon, Richmond, Surrey and the All England Club.

As the case develops, Costello uncovers rivalries, hidden relationships and misleading evidence. The investigation relies less on forensic breakthroughs than on observation, interviews and logical deduction. A minor mistake by the killer eventually reveals the truth. The novel combines a London setting with a traditional puzzle mystery in the style of classic British detective fiction.

The success of Game, Set and Murder led Flynn to continue the Angela Costello series. Later novels include A Deadly Measure of Brimstone (2015), Dead Gorgeous (2015), A Body on the Beach (2016), The Green Ripper (2016), One Fell Swoop (2017), Murder at the Fitzwilliam (2018), The Bone Trap (2019), The Hatred Within (2020), Nothing Will Remain (2021) and A Killing Among Friends (2022).

Each novel follows Costello as she investigates murders linked to family disputes, hidden motives and long-buried secrets.

Flynn’s books focus on police work, character detail and carefully constructed mysteries. Rather than relying on graphic violence, they emphasise questioning, observation and deduction. Her stories are often associated with the tradition of twentieth-century British detective fiction.
