Lisa Boero is a lawyer and moonlighting novelist. She is the author of the Nerdy Girls series of mysteries, featuring fast-talking, face-blind detective Liz Howe. Boero's third book, Hell Made Easy, is a dark comedy about lawyers in a battle of wits with the devil. The Richmond Thief and The Ranleigh Question are the products of the author's infatuation with Jane Austen and the Forensic Files. Boero lives in Marshfield, Wisconsin, along with her family.
