Jess Lourey

Jess Lourey writes about secrets. She's the New York Times bestselling, two-time Edgar-Award-nominated, two-time Goodreads Choice Awards shortlisted, Anthony Award-winning, ITW Thriller Award-winning, and Minnesota Book Award-winning author of young adult, crime fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and book club fiction. She's surpassed a million readers, and her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Check out her TEDx Talk for the surprising, vulnerable story behind her first published novel.

When Jess isn't traveling the world researching her next story, she lives in Minneapolis with a rotating batch of foster kittens (and the occasional foster puppy, but those goobers are a lot of work).
