In a little over ten years, Rochelle Krich has established herself as a key player in the field of crime fiction.  In 1990 Krich made her writing debut with Where’s Mommy Now? which won an Anthony Award and was adapted as the TV movie Perfect Alibi.  Since then, Krich has published twelve other critically acclaimed novels, including the national best seller Shadows of Sin, and Dead Air (RT Reviewers Choice Award Winner for Best Suspense Novel).  Krich’s award-nominated mystery short stories include “A Golden Opportunity,” “Widow’s Peak,” and “Bitter Waters,” nominated for an Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity.  Her works have been published in Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Iceland, Israel, Japan, and Spain.

Krich’s Molly Blume mystery, Grave Endings ("Krich once again expertly mixes Orthodox Jewish faith with crisp whodunit plotting”- PW), won the MWA Mary Higgins Clark and Calavera awards. The series’ debut, Blues in the Night, was a Best Novel finalist for the Southern California Booksellers Association Award, RT Reviewers Choice Award, and the Agatha. "Think Harry Kemelman's Friday the Rabbi Slept Late' series with the rabbi's significant other as sleuth," says Krich. "Think Nick and Nora Charles. Then meet Molly Blume, a Modern Orthodox true crime writer/tabloid journalist with a large mishpacha and a passion for social justice." The series and Molly have garnered top reviews: "Molly investigates with both thoroughness and compassion, making this new sleuth worth her salt" (NY Times Book Review).
