Amanda Ashby

Amanda Ashby was ten when she read her first Trixie Belden book and she’s been a mystery lover ever since.

She’s published 35 books in a variety of genres including romance, young adult and middle grade, before turning to a life of crime with her new series, The Widows’ Detective Club.

After getting a degree in English and Journalism from the University of Queensland, she has bounced between England and New Zealand before settling in the glorious Wellington.

Her debut book was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers Choice award, and her first young adult book was listed by the New York Public Libraryʼs Stuff for the Teen Age.
