Eva Bernhard

The truth about mysteries? Everyone hides something. I write atmospheric crime novels where secrets collide, motives twist, and danger brews in the quietest places.

I’m Eva Bernhard, a Canadian author with a soft spot for sharp-witted sleuths and tangled human motives. After years as a professor, I now run a one-woman mystery enterprise spanning writing, design, and marketing.

My two series follow smart, quietly determined investigators:


Louise Penfold, an editor with an eye for trouble, uncovers danger behind polished doors and strained family ties.


Agnes Taylor, an academic drawn into unexpected peril, finds mysteries wherever life and travel lead her—from Germany’s North Sea coast to the shores of Prince Edward Island.

All novels are available in multiple formats, including Large Print.

Away from the desk, you’ll find me exploring the woods and beaches of Atlantic Canada with my mischievous young Aussie Doodle.

For video teasers and curated mystery visuals, you can also find me on Pinterest under 'Eva Bernhard – Mystery Author' or simply 'ebmysteries' for short.
