Kris Bock

Kris Bock è un'autrice di romanzi gialli, thriller e romantici, spesso ambientati sullo sfondo dei paesaggi del Sudovest americano e di avventure all'aria aperta. La sua serie Accidental Detective segue un giornalista arguto che affronta misteri in Arizona mentre fa i conti con le sfide della mezza età, a cominciare da "Something Shady at Sunshine Haven". Scrive anche la serie Furrever Friends Sweet Romance, incentrata su un incantevole cat café dove dipendenti e clienti trovano l'amore insieme a gatti randagi. I suoi romanzi thriller, come "Whispers in the Dark" e "Counterfeits", mescolano archeologia, intrighi e romance, guadagnandosi elogi per le trame avvincenti e gli scenari vividi.

La scrittura di Bock spazia tra diversi generi, tra cui i misteri umoristici come la serie The Reluctant Psychic Murder Mystery, dove una solitaria sensitiva risolve casi legati a un museo delle stranezze, e le Teenage Adventures of Felony Melanie, una serie comica ispirata a "Sweet Home Alabama". I suoi romanzi Southwest Treasure Hunters, tra cui "Desert Gold" e "Valley of Gems", offrono avventure romantiche ricche di azione con cacce al tesoro e indizi complessi. Inoltre, esplora le dinamiche familiari nella serie Accidental Billionaire Cowboys, dove una famiglia di allevatori texani affronta una ricchezza improvvisa.

Residente da lungo tempo nel New Mexico, Bock trae ispirazione dalla bellezza naturale della regione, che spesso occupa un posto centrale nelle sue opere. Ha conseguito un BFA in fotografia e ama fare escursioni, tiro con l'arco e osservare la fauna locale. I suoi romanzi sono celebrati per i personaggi coinvolgenti, le trame ben strutturate e gli ambienti immersivi, conquistando i fan di autrici come Mary Stewart e Barbara Michaels.
