Biography
SUSAN CORY was an award-winning residential architect in Cambridge, Ma. before she retired to write mysteries full time. She earned a brown belt in karate and visited 100 countries along the way.
Her mystery series, beginning with Conundrum, features Iris Reid, also a Cambridge architect, as an amateur sleuth trying to uncover a murderer at her Harvard reunion. Susan found inspiration for starting this series at her own 20th architecture school reunion, not that anyone was killed then. That she knows of.
Her seven books in the series have won praise from Kirkus who calls her sleuth "an appealing and believable hero" with supporting characters who are "outstanding" and "hone this remarkable story." "Cory gleefully breezes through subplots and twists with a resourceful protagonist at the helm.”
Her 8th book in the series, The Forger’s Daughter, is due out in August 2025.
