Larissa Reinhart

A small-town girl imagining her next big adventure

A Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Larissa writes the international award-winning Cherry Tucker Mystery, Maizie Albright Star Detective, and Finley Goodhart Crime Caper series. She loves to tell funny stories about sassy, Southern women looking for love (and dead bodies) in all the wrong places. 

​

Meet her heroines: the fallen child star taking method acting too far by turning real-life PI (Maizie Albright Star Detective), the high-grit portrait artist whose Grandma Jo insists has 'sassy britches' (Cherry Tucker Mystery), or the reformed con artist running heists for redemption (Finley Goodhart Crime Caper).

Her best-selling books have been chosen as book club picks by Woman's World Magazine and Hot Mystery Reviews. Among her publications are Page Turner, Dixie Kane Memorial, and Silver Falchion award-winners as well as finalists for Georgia Author of the Year, the Daphne du Maurier, and The Emily. Her works also appeared in the 2017 Silver Falchion Reader’s Choice winner, Eight Mystery Writers You Should Be Reading Now ​​​​​​​and in the Agatha award-winning Promophobia, Taking the Mystery Out of Promoting Crime Fiction.

​

Larissa, her family, and Cairn Terrier, Biscuit, lived in Nagoya, Japan, but have returned to Peachtree City, Georgia. You can see them on HGTV's House Hunters International "Living for the Weekend in Nagoya" episode. Larissa loves books, food, and traveling with her family. You can often see her adventures on Instagram @LarissaReinhart (and her little dog, too).
