Traci Andrighetti

Traci Andrighetti is a successful author who has written a number of mystery novels. She is a USA Today bestselling author, which is a testament to her talent and popularity among readers. Andrighetti wrote her first mystery novel when she was just twelve years old, which shows that she has had a passion for writing and storytelling for most of her life. However, she took a break from writing to pursue other interests during her teenage years.

Andrighetti is perhaps best known for her Franki Amato mysteries and the Danger Cove Hair Salon mysteries, as well as being a co-author of the Killer Foursome mysteries. Her latest release, "4 SLEUTHS & A BACHELORETTE," is a co-investigation with the sleuths of Leslie Langtry, Arlene McFarlane, and Diana Orgain. She is currently plotting "TUACA TAN," the eighth book in the Franki Amato series, which will focus on the members of an all-female Mardi Gras krewe who keep dropping dead. In addition to this, she is also working on "4 SLEUTHS & A BURLESQUE DANCER," the second investigation with her new "krewe" of sleuths.

Before becoming a successful author, Andrighetti had a career in academia. She was an award-winning literary translator and a Lecturer of Italian at the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned a PhD in Applied Linguistics. However, she eventually left this career path to pursue her passion for writing. She now keeps her readers updated on her latest books and capers through her website, traciandrighetti.com.
