About the book:

Skaars op Aronspoort, of mevrou Smit hoor sy slaap in die polisieselle – vir haar “onaanvaarbare gedrag” en drink-agter-die-stuur. Wanneer sy die volgende oggend uiteindelik by haar nuwe huis instap, wag ’n lyk op die kombuisvloer. Moes dit dalk eerder sý gewees het, daar in die bloedkol?

Maar mevrou Smit is nie ’n lelie wat jy sonder skêr pluk nie. Sy gáán die moordenaar vastrek, maak nie saak op hoeveel tone sy trap of hoeveel van die dorp se skandes uitpeul nie. Die sterftesyfer styg en sy raak al hoe meer ongewild. Haar skerp tong spaar nie eens die dokter met die mooi blou oë nie.

Want sien, sy is ’n vrou met ’n donker verlede. Wat sy met los klere, gemaklike skoene en natuurlike, grys hare probeer verbloem. As die polisie te lank krap, kom hulle dalk op háár spoke af. En dit mag nie gebeur nie.

About the Author

Elizabeth Wasserman was born in Klersdorp, 1964. She grew up in Koppies, somewhere in the Free State, in South Africa. She is the author of the popular Dogtective and Anna Atom series, and Dingesfabriek, Kattemaai (published under the name Betsie Vos) and the “Elf dae” series of travel adventures for young adults, published in Afrikaans. “Die fantastiese mevrou Smit” is her first novel for adults. Her work achieved the MER-prize for illustrated children’s literature, an ATKV “Woordveertjie” and an award by the South African Academy for Science and Arts.

As a child she wanted to become a writer but decided it was best to first get some experiences to write about. She studied medicine at Free State University, and later specialized in Medical Microbiology at Stellenbosch University. She loves to learn and to teach and for some years she was the head of Medical Microbiology at Stellenbosch University before moving to private practice as a pathologist.

Elizabeth believes that one must develop a better understanding of science and nature in order to treat our ecosystem, and each other, with care and respect.

She is currently travelling while she continues to write.
