Carol Ann Lee (born 1969) is an English author and biographer who has written extensively on Anne Frank, the Holocaust and on the crimes of Moors Murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.[1]
Carol Ann Lee was born in Wakefield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. She studied History of Art and Design at the University of Manchester and then followed her early interest, interviewing Holocaust survivors and working at the Manchester Jewish Museum.[1] Her first book was published three years later.[2]
Her tenth book, Evil Relations (2012), was nominated for the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger Award for Non-Fiction. Written in conjunction with David Smith, chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders case, the book details, for the first time, Smith's story in full.
In 2012, Lee published A Fine Day for a Hanging: The Ruth Ellis Story, a re-examination of Ellis's life story and the facts surrounding her trial and subsequent execution for the murder of David Blakely.[3]
Lee is published by Mainstream Publishing, an imprint of Random House.
