As a nearly lifelong resident of the Granite State, Jessie Crockett naturally adores black flies, 98% humidity, killing frosts in August and snow banks taller than the average grandmother. When not working on her next murderous adventure she combs the beach, designs bento lunches ad throws parties. She delights in mentoring young writers at local schools.

Jessie lives with her dark and mysterious husband and exuberant children in a village so small many other New Hampshire residents have never heard of it.
