Ask any mystery author what books she read as a kid, and there’s a 99.79 percent chance she’ll answer, Nancy Drew. But  Read More...

LISA Q. MATHEWS grew up on a steady diet of Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie, but she’s also a fan of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey’s zany bad guys and ominously sunny settings. She worked as a lifeguard, a figure skating pro, and a book editor before becoming the author of her own cozy mysteries.

Lisa began her publishing career at New American Library, where she edited mystery, romance, young adult, and male action adventure titles. Later, she edited multiple Nancy Drew series and became Creative Director at Random House Children’s Books. She also wrote under pseudonym for kids’ series such as Mary-Kate and Ashley and The Lizzie McGuire Mysteries.

A native New Englander and Williams College graduate, Lisa has lived in Brooklyn, Boston, Atlanta, and Nashville. Mom to three grown kids, she now resides in New Hampshire with her husband, her own mom, and a crazy Golden Retriever named Willie. Like her co-sleuths, twentysomething Summer Smythe and seventysomething Dorothy Westin, Lisa enjoys swimming, rich desserts, Nora Ephron movies, and above all a good mystery.
