About Amanda

Amanda Chapman is a lifelong mystery lover and wordsmith. An enthusiastic fan of traditional mysteries and of New York City, she found herself wondering, “What if someone recreated Agatha Christie’s personal library—even to the furnishings and architecture—in New York City? What would happen in that space?” And thus was born MRS. CHRISTIE AT THE MYSTERY GUILD LIBRARY—a 2026 Edgars® Lilian Jackson Braun Memorial Award Nominee—soon to be followed by MRS. CHRISTIE AND THE MYSTERY IN THE MEWS, coming October 6!
