Donna Andrews (author)


Donna Andrews is an American mystery fiction writer of two award-winning amateur sleuth series. Her first book, Murder with Peacocks, introduced Meg Langslow, a blacksmith from Yorktown, Virginia. It won the St. Martin's Minotaur Best First Traditional Mystery contest, the Agatha, Anthony, Barry, and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice awards for best first novel, and the Lefty award for funniest mystery of 1999. The first novel in the Turing Hopper series debuted a highly unusual sleuth—an Artificial Intelligence personality who becomes sentient—and won the Agatha Award for best mystery that year.
Donna Andrews was born in Yorktown, Virginia, studied English and drama at the University of Virginia, and now lives and works in Reston, Virginia.
