Timeline
Martha Grimes (born 1931) is an American writer of detective fiction.
She is best known for a series featuring Richard Jury, a Scotland Yard inspector, and Melrose Plant, an aristocrat turned amateur sleuth.
Martha Grimes was born in 1931 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to William Dermit Grimes, Pittsburgh's city solicitor, and June Dunnington, who owned the Mountain Lake Hotel in Western Maryland, where Martha and her brother spent much of their childhood.
She earned her B.A. and M.A. at the University of Maryland and did postgraduate work at the University of Iowa.
Grimes has taught at the University of Iowa, Frostburg State University, and Montgomery College (Takoma Park).
Grimes initially became known for her series of novels featuring Richard Jury, an inspector with Scotland Yard, and his friend Melrose Plant, a British aristocrat who has given up his titles.
Each of the Jury mysteries is named after a pub.
Her Emma Graham quartet of novels beginning with Hotel Paradise is set in an atmospheric aging lake resort in western Maryland, and delves into mysteries of past secrets and human nature.
The background of the series draws from the experiences that she enjoyed while spending summers at her mother's hotel in Mountain Lake Park, Maryland.
One of the characters, Mr. Britten, is drawn on Britten Leo Martin Sr., who then ran Martin's Store, which he owned with his father and brother.
Martin's Store is accessible by a short walkway from the Mountain Lake Hotel, the site of the former hotel, which was torn down in 1967.
In 1983, Grimes received the Nero Wolfe Award for best mystery of the year for The Anodyne Necklace.
Biting the Moon (1999) was the first of two books featuring young teenagers who fight animal abuse.

In 2012, Grimes was named Grand Master by the Edgar Awards Mystery Writers of America.
Grimes lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
Grimes has donated two thirds of her royalties from Biting the Moon to animal-protection organizations.
The Man With a Load of Mischief, Help the Poor Struggler and The Deer Leap were filmed on behalf of the German and Austrian broadcasters ZDF and ORF under the title Der Tote im Pub (The Dead Man in the Pub) (2013), Mord im Nebel (Murder in the Fog) (2015) and Inspektor Jury spielt Katz und Maus (Inspector Jury plays Cat-and-Mouse) (2017).
