Carolyn G. Hart
Carolyn Gimpel Hart is an American author of cozy mystery novels, including her Death on Demand and Henrie O series. In 1964, Carolyn won a writing contest for a mystery novel targetted at teenage girls. She then wrote YA mysteries until 1972. For the next 15 years, she would write standalone suspense titles, as publishers weren’t interested in female-authored American mysteries (until Marcia Muller , Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton broke the door open). Carolyn has won the Agatha Award (3x), Anthony Award (2x), Macavity Award (2x) and several others.
