J. W. Becton

J. W. Becton has been plotting murder since she read her first Agatha Christie mystery. She is addicted to crime dramedy (comedy-drama) TV shows and wanted to read books that balanced murder and mayhem with humor and romance the same way.

But she always ended up finding either angsty hard-boiled detectives drinking their way to the killer or slapstick heroines stumbling through cases on stilettos. Those books are fun too! But she wanted to write something in the middle.

That's why books by J. W. Becton balance gripping suspense with humor and slow-burn romance. If you've binged on TV shows like Castle, Bones, The Mentalist, etc., you'll love the Southern Fraud Mystery series and Mercer Murders.

J. W. Becton is a pseudo-pseudonym for historical fiction writer Jennifer Becton.
