Morgan Olsen

Morgan Olsen grew up steeped in true crime. The daughter of a true-crime author Gregg Olsen, she and her twin sister spent their childhood tagging along on interviews, answering collect calls from prison, and learning early how not to become a “Dateline Girl.” By day, Morgan is a second-grade teacher; by night, she’s an avid runner, an accomplished baker (her yule log is legendary), and the person everyone wants on their side when there’s a mystery to be solved. She and her husband are the proud—and often exhausted—parents of two rambunctious little boys. Ordinary Wife is her debut book.
