(Danish name pronounced like Meta) is an award-winning, national bestselling, New York Times Notable author of The Bishop’s Wife series and the first Ada Latia autistic mystery (A Special Interest in Murder) with Severn House.

Reviews for The Ex-Wives Murder Club:

“A twisted thriller . . . Harrison keeps readers on tenterhooks. Strong-nerved suspense fans will walk away satisfied” Publisher’s Weekly

“A riveting psychological suspense story” Kirkus

“Blends mordant humor with murder and romance . . . A great women-getting-revenge tale, akin to C. J. Skuse’s Sweet Pea and Katy Brent’s How To Kill Men and Get Away with It” Library Journal

A “gruesome, provocative tale raises questions about morality, who has the right to judge and
punish others” and “what love and trust really mean.” Emily Melton, Booklist

Reviews for A Special Interest in Murder:

Publisher’s Weekly says ““[Harrison] movingly highlights the ways in which Ada’s neurodivergence serves as a sleuthing strength . . . Readers will be charmed.” Booklist says, “This well-plotted story gives readers a good sense of how autism affects daily life (the author herself is autistic) in addition to being a compelling mystery.” And Kirkus gives the book a starred review and says, “A clever series kickoff featuring a sleuth who opens the often misunderstood world of autism to a wider audience.” 

The Linda Wallheim mysteries feature an amateur sleuth who is a Mormon bishop’s wife in Draper, Utah. The first book  (The Bishop’s Wife) is loosely inspired by the Josh and Susan Powell real-life story.  Book 2 (His Right Hand) is about a trans-gender bishopric member. Book 3 (For Time and All Eternities) is about a polygamous Mormon group. Book 4 (Not of This Fold) is about an immigrant family labeled as “Lamanite” in Mormon parlance. Book 5 (The Prodigal Daughter) is about a young woman who is a runaway and has been sexually assaulted by multiple Mormon young men. Other books have been on hold as personal life issues regarding Mormonism have interrupted the author.

Mette Ivie Harrison has also written many other books for young adults and other Mormon-adjacent fiction, including her Vampries and Mormons series by BCC Press.
