Nicholas George worked as a newspaper reporter before embarking on an extensive career in public relations and communication management. His love of long-distance walking in the U.S. and England prompted him to create his Walk Through England series of mystery novels, set on group walks in the English countryside. Nick co-wrote the feature film “Perfect Match,” prominently featured at the Chicago and Montreal film festivals. He lives in Pasadena, California, with his husband Bert.

Praise for Nicholas George and A Deadly Walk in Devon

“Debut author George relates how Chase uncovers potential motives of other members of the walking group; in the process, Chase becomes a target for the murderer. George, whose own love of long-distance walking inspired the book, offers a satisfying mystery with a well-drawn interesting protagonist.” —The Washington Post

“This appealing, first-in-a-series debut is a variation on the closed-house mystery, with distinct character personalities hiding deep enmities.” —Booklist

“George’s series debut is crisply written, laying a solid groundwork for further whodunits featuring an unconventional pair of sleuths in Chase and Billie." —Kirkus Reviews

“A fresh concept for a new series that offers readers the chance to see the English countryside. Those who enjoy Steve Burrows’s birding mysteries may want to try this nature-heavy cozy.” —Library Journal

“If you've ever considered going on a walking tour in the English countryside, think again! Avoid jet lag and join the intriguing group of trekkers in Nicholas George's A Deadly Walk in Devon and wander along a trail full of treacherous twists and turns to the absolutely gobsmacking reveal at the end of the path. Great fun!” —Leslie Meier, author of Patchwork Quilt Murder

“You’ll want to walk just about anywhere with retired police detective Rick “Chase” Chasen, a modern day Hercule Poirot.” —Lee Hollis, author of Poppy Harmon and the Shooting Star

“Take A Deadly Walk in Devon with Nicholas George in this suspenseful ‘quozy’ mystery, where every step uncovers a new secret in the picturesque English countryside.
