About the author

When I was ten years old, I wrote my first mystery. It was twenty pages long, written in cursive (I don’t think they teach that in schools anymore) and featured a teenage sleuth named Mandy London. To me, the name evoked dark glasses, double-breasted trench coats, and red lipstick. Eat your heart out, Nancy Drew.

Over time, Mandy London faded into the shadows and Grace Howard came forward. Mandy's still in there somewhere, though, her fedora pulled low. Because both women are a part of me, along with every hero and villain I've ever written. Even the bad ones.

That's the way it is when you're a writer. You don't start with nothing and create something. You start with something inside you and you put it on the page for people to see.

Reviews

[Diane]

I really enjoy Kelly Adamson’s books. Kelly is a creative and superb writer. I’ve read all her books to date, and I am constantly looking forward to the next. In both her series, her main characters are well developed and likeable. The plots are well developed and properly researched. I’ve really enjoyed her recent 5th wheel series. During the brief time that my sister was in hospice, my oldest sister read Kelly’s latest book to her. The book lifted her spirits during this difficult period of her life. I want to thank her for the good reads and I am looking forward to her next book.
