The daughter of a
British diplomat, Tessa Arlen lived in or visited Singapore, Berlin, the
Persian Gulf, Beijing, Delhi and Warsaw by the time she was sixteen. She came
to the U.S. in 1980 and worked as an H.R. recruiter for the 1984 Olympic Games
in Los Angeles, where she interviewed her future husband for a job.
Death
of a Dishonorable Gentleman (2015) is Arlen's first novel.
Library
Journal's review of the book reads: "Readers of this debut set in
Edwardian England will feel as though they've stepped into an episode of
Downton Abbey, complete with murder and intrigue upstairs and downstairs…
Incorporating exquisite period detail into her well-mannered mystery, Arlen
offers readers an engaging peek into the lives of upper and lower classes of
early 1900s England combined with a little history interspersed.” For more information about Tessa Arlen go
