Laura Jensen Walker

Amazon bestselling and award-winning author Laura Jensen Walker writes in several genres--mysteries, historical fiction, women's fiction (book club fiction), and non-fiction. A lover of mysteries since reading Trixie Belden in the fourth grade, Laura is the author of a handful of lighthearted mystery novels including the #1 Amazon bestselling, Agatha-nominated. MURDER MOST SWEET, and THE ALPHABET SLEUTHS which has been dubbed The Thursday Murder Club meets the Golden Girls. Laura flew a typewriter across Europe in Uncle Sam’s Air Force in her twenties and fell in love with all things English while stationed at an RAF base in the UK. Captivated by the tales of an overlooked group of WWII RAF women--the Flying Nightingales--she knew she had to tell their story. DEATH OF A FLYING NIGHTINGALE, nominated for a Lefty Award, is her first historical novel. Her second WWII historical, THE POSTMISTRESS OF PUDDLINGTON, which will appeal to fans of THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL SOCIETY, releases in August 2026. Laura's women's fiction debut, THE PILGRIMAGE OF PRIMROSE HONEYCHURCH about a solitary, book-loving senior on a quest (releasing in fall 2026) has been called "the journey of a lifetime through wonder, laughter, and heartbreak--and many cups of tea--that's not to be missed."

Laura lives in Northern California in a wannabe-English cottage where she drinks tea and dreams of England. She is a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America.
