Angela Henry is an Amazon Charts bestselling and award-winning author who’s been told her past lives included stints as a spy, a researcher, and an investigator, which explains her obsession with secrets, puzzles, and people-watching. A retired library reference specialist, she now channels her curiosity into writing twisty mysteries and thrillers full of shady unreliable characters, buried truths, and unexpected turns.

She’s the author of the Kendra Clayton mystery series and the Xavier Knight urban fantasy series. Her standalone thrillers include The Perfect Affair, Her Pretty Lies, The Family Lies, and The Paris Secret. Under the pen name Angie Kelly, she’s also written the middle-grade novel Labyrinth Society: The Versailles Vendetta.

When she’s not writing, procrastinating, or perfecting her stealth skills, Angela enjoys traveling, bingeing international mystery and thriller series, and feeding her anime addiction. She lives in Ohio with her husband and their spoiled Chiweenie rescue, Gidget. She’s currently working on her next book…or at least pretending to.
