Linda Reilly

Armed with a degree in Criminal Justice, Linda S. Reilly once contemplated a career in law enforcement. But life took a twist, and instead she found her niche in real estate closings and title examinations, where the dusty tomes in the Registry of Deeds enticed her into solving mysteries of a different sort. Linda lives in New England with her husband, who has affectionately dubbed her "Nose-in-a-Book." In her day job, her duties resemble those of her main character, Apple Mariani.
