However, the murders still show characteristic Lofts elements. Lofts chose to release her murder-mystery novels under the pen name Peter Curtis because she did not want the readers of her historic fiction to pick up a murder-mystery novel and expect classic Lofts historical fiction. Many of her novels, including her Suffolk Trilogy, follow the history of specific houses and their residents over several generations. She wrote more than fifty books specialising in historical fiction, but she also wrote some mysteries, short stories and non-fiction. She also wrote under the pen names Peter Curtis and Juliet Astley. Norah Lofts, née Norah Ethel Robinson, (27 August 1904 – 10 September 1983) was a 20th-century British writer.
