Alex Rowan is an award-nominated crime and mystery author whose books blend small-town secrets, sharply drawn characters and a sly sense of humour.
After years working as a journalist — where they developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of people who say far too much during interviews — Alex turned to crime fiction and never looked back.

Their debut series, The Brackenford Files, quickly built a loyal readership for its mix of village charm and chilling motives. When not plotting fictional murders, Alex can be found wandering independent bookshops, fussing over their rescue terrier, or hunting out the best coffee in whichever town they’re visiting.

Alex believes crime fiction should be clever, cosy, and occasionally downright wicked — and loves chatting with readers about the perfect red herring.
