Robert Barnard

Robert Barnard is a giant among mystery writers. He's won the Nero Wolfe Award, Anthony, Agatha, and Macavity, Golden Handcuffs, and Diamond Dagger awards. He was nominated for Edgars eight times and is a member of the British Detection Club.

Barnard began his career as an academic. Born in Essex in 1936, he was educated at Balliol College in Oxford. He was a professor of English at a Norwegian university. Despite his solid grounding in literature, he says he writes primarily to entertain, not to educate.

Under the name of Bernard Bastable, Barnard has also written mysteries with Mozart as the detective.

In 2003, Barnard won a Diamond Dagger Award and now lives in Yorkshire, England.
