Christin Brecher is a rising author in the cozy mystery, fiction, thriller, and suspense genres. She was born and raised in New York City, where she still resides today. Despite being a city girl, Brecher has a small-town soul, which is reflected in her writing. She is well-known for her Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery series, which includes her debut novel, Murder's No Votive Confidence, and a second book released in 2020. Brecher's love for Nantucket, a small island near the Massachusetts coast, inspired this series. She spent many summers there as a child, indulging in mystery novels from her family's library.\n \nBrecher's journey to becoming a published author was not a straight path. After many years in marketing for the publishing industry and raising her children, she finally published her first novel, Murder's No Votive Confidence, in 2019. Her writing is influenced by her life-long connection to Nantucket and its rich history in whaling and candle-making. Her descriptions of the island's foggy nights, shingled houses, cobblestones, and close-knit community create a vivid and engaging setting for her stories. Brecher's writing is not limited to the Nantucket series; she is also working on a new series called Snapshot of NYC Mysteries, set in her hometown of New York City. Brecher is a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America.
