About

Peggy A. Edelheit is the author of twenty-three books: twenty-one mysteries in the Samantha Jamison series, one memoir called The Riviera Is Burning, and one contemporary romance mystery called Caché, Caché. She loves writing stories, both non-fiction and fiction, and revealing the truth—or her version of it. (And yes, many incidents in her books did happen—she’s just not admitting which ones and how much!) Peggy is an avid reader and accomplished Gold Medal Award Winning Author who spends her days—and nights—dreaming and writing about all things mystery. Coming soon: #22 Trouble With a Capital T & #23 The Silent Codicil.

Peggy has devoured books since she first learned to read.

After raising her three sons, while working alongside her husband in the company business, in 2012 Peggy made her dream a reality and wrote her first mystery novel. The novel’s setting was based on her log cabin in Highlands, North Carolina, where she sat on the back porch and plotted for hours, wondering how a young widow would react after the mysterious, unsolved death of her husband. Peggy discovered she loved writing mysteries from the first-person point of view, and the Samantha Jamison series was born.

Peggy has traveled the world, from Europe to Asia, even at one point owning a villa on the French Riviera, which played well into two of her books: her memoir, The Riviera Is Burning, and book three of her Samantha Jamison mystery series, 86 Avenue du Goulet. She resides in the Palm Beaches and spends intervals visiting the northeast Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia which also play into her most recent mysteries and only a brief drive to Highlands, NC where it all started with her first book, The Puzzle. Talk about coming full circle…
