Mary E. Roach is an author of thrillers and mysteries and a fan of all things spooky. (But ask about true crime podcasts at your own risk. There are hot takes). 

When Mary is not writing stories for and about powerful girls, she can be found teaching martial arts, baking an unreasonable amount of cookies, or taking off on thru-hikes through the wilderness of northern Minnesota.

Mary’s debut mystery novel, BETTER LEFT BURIED, about two girls who play detective in a small, insular town full of deadly family secrets that go back generations, will be published by Disney Books on August 6, 2024.

SEVEN FOR A SECRET, a thriller following a furious girl dead set on survival (and vengeance) will follow in 2025.

Mary is represented by Claire Friedman at Inkwell Management.
