Simon Brett

Simon Anthony Lee Brett (* 28. Oktober 1945 in Worcester Park, Surrey) ist ein englischer Radio- und Fernsehproduzent und Schriftsteller von Kriminalromanen (Whodunits).

Leben

Simon Brett ist der Sohn des Chartered Surveyor John Brett und dessen Ehefrau, der Lehrerin Margaret Lee. Er besuchte das Dulwich College in Dulwich (London) und wechselte anschließend zum Studium an das Wadham College (University of Oxford). Nach seinem Abschluss wurde Brett von der British Broadcasting Corporation engagiert, wo er meistenteils für BBC Radio 4 arbeitete.

Dabei produzierte Brett die Pilot-Folge der Hörspielserie Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis sowie viele Folgen der Kult-Comedy-Serie The Burkiss Way. Er ist außerdem ein anerkannter Sitcom-Autor, am besten bekannt für After Henry, No Commitments und Smelling of Roses von BBC Radio 4. After Henry wurde später für ITV produziert.

Später wechselte Brett zu London Weekend Television (LWT), wo er ebenfalls sehr erfolgreich war. Parallel zu seinem Brotberuf entstand mit der Zeit ein ebenso erfolgreiches wie umfangreiches literarisches Werk. In den späten 1970er-Jahren gab er dann seinen Beruf auf und widmete sich nur noch dem Schreiben. Bis jetzt entstanden neben einzelnen Kinder- und Jugendbüchern, Theaterstücken und Romanen auch drei Serien von Detektivromanen geschrieben.

Simon Brett ist verheiratet, hat drei Kinder und lebt in Arundel (West Sussex).
