THE HATTERLY HOUSE MYSTERIES
MEET THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Barbra McDermont.
I write cozy mysteries filled with curious characters, close-knit communities, and puzzles that keep you turning the page. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me baking something lemony, wandering in the garden, or reading with a cat nearby.
A few of my favorite things:
Tea (always)
Vintage teacups
Bookshops
Gardens
Clever clues
And my cat, Pippin
