Katherine Ramsland

Katherine Ramsland is an American published author and professor. She says that ever since she was three years old, she has loved books. The library was the highlight of her childhood and she relates that she has been ‘fortunate’ to have the ability to find joy in what others have written and to also give this to her readers sometimes.

The best place to start is the Crimescape series, the earliest of Katherine Ramsland's multi-book series: it opens with After Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (2011) and runs to 18 books across 2011–2018, ending with Ghost Killers (2018). Katherine Ramsland's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
