Alice Fitzpatrick

Alice Fitzpatrick has contributed short stories to literary magazines and crime anthologies and is a fearless champion of singing, cats, all things Welsh, and the Oxford comma. Her summers spent with her Welsh family in Pembrokeshire inspired the creation of the Meredith Island Mysteries. She was a third of the way through the first draft of Secrets in the Water when she realized that this story of lost family history and the mythologizing of people who are no longer with us was inspired by her own family. The second book in the series, A Dark Death, will be released on June 1st, 2025, with the Meredith Island Christmas mystery, A Killing Cold, scheduled for release on June 1st of the following year. The traditional mystery appeals to her keen interest in psychology as she is intrigued by what makes seemingly ordinary people commit murder. Alice lives in Toronto but dreams of a cottage on the Welsh coast.
