Bio

SALLY WEINRAUB is a highly unusual debut author.

THIS APPEALS LAWYER, RAISED IN ENGLAND, HAD A "SWENEY" IN BROOKLYN AT 20 AND AT 95 IS PUBLISHING HER FIRST 4 COZY MYSTERIES!

A native of Manchester, England, Sally came to the US during World War II and married and had four children. Then she went back to school, graduating first in her class at Manhattanville College. At age 50, at her husband’s urging, she went to Brooklyn Law School, where she made law review and moot court. Afterward, she worked as an appeals lawyer for some thirty years.

Then Sally retired and began writing mystery novels. She was unable to get an agent or publisher for her first book, but she kept on writing.

Now she has written four delightful cozy mysteries featuring the British-born sleuth Emily Lewis, an appeals lawyer. In her relentless quest to unmask murderers and free the falsely accused, Emily often stumbles into danger herself. Her British reserve almost obscures her passionate nature.

Fans of Patricia Wentworth, Dorothy Sayers, and Marjorie Allingham will welcome this spirited newcomer

Sally made her literary debut in March 2016, publishing this quartet of mystery novels just in time for her 95th birthday!

In March 2016, Sally proudly launched the career of Emily Lewis with these first four novels, just as the author celebrated her own 95th birthday.

Sally’s story of indefatigable persistence is highly inspirational. And the books will keep you up way past your bedtime!

“Sally Weinraub’s cozy mysteries offer detailed settings (Reno, Broadway, the Intrepid Museum, a Brooklyn mikvah), vivid characters, and unexpected plots. Her British-born sleuth, Emily Lewis, is utterly delightful, and the books she inhabits prove that a murder mystery can also be warm and witty.” Kathleen Rockwell Lawrence, author of Maud Gone
