Leslie Meier is the author of over twenty Lucy Stone mysteries. Her books are inspired by her own family life - she has three children - and she worked as a reporter for a number of local newspapers near her home in Cape Cod, USA. As Leslie's own children have grown up, so have Lucy's, and Leslie has a keen eye for the day-to-day life of small-town America. Perceptive and cleverly plotted, her books never fail to entertain.
