Order of C.C. Benison Books

Writing under the pseudonym C.C. Benison, Canadian novelist Douglas Whiteway has carved out a distinctive niche in the mystery genre with his two acclaimed series: Her Majesty Investigates and the Father Christmas Mysteries. Whiteway brings a solid journalism background to his fiction writing, having contributed to both the Winnipeg Tribune and the Winnipeg Free Press during his newspaper career.

His educational foundation includes a B.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Manitoba and a journalism degree from Carleton University, credentials that inform the depth and authenticity of his storytelling. Benison made his literary debut in 1996 with Death at Buckingham Palace, a novel that immediately established his reputation by earning him the prestigious Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.

Since that successful launch, C.C. Benison has continued to captivate mystery readers with his engaging plots and well-crafted characters across both of his popular series.
