About Traci

Traci Andrighetti is the USA Today bestselling author of four humorous and murderously fun mystery series: the Franki Amato Mysteries, the Pasta and Piazza Mysteries, and the Danger Cove Hair Salon Mysteries. She’s also a co-author of the Killer Foursome Mysteries.

At twelve, she wrote her first mystery, The Message in the Driftwood, a Nancy Drew knockoff crafted in a bedroom closet with her cousin. It never saw print, but it was a dead giveaway that she’d grow up to make a killing on the page.

Her breakout character, Franki Amato, is a New Orleans PI powered by caffeine, sass, and a serious sweet tooth (especially for Nutella). In the Pasta and Piazza Mysteries, Franki’s older cousin Giada Adair leads luxury food tours through Italy’s most iconic cities—and solves the murders that show up on the menu.

It's a delicious life, and Traci is eternally grateful to her family, friends, and fans who make it possible.
