Kathleen McGillick, an attorney for three decades, channels her passion for mystery and suspense into crafting gripping novels. A devoted fan of the genre since her childhood days of consuming Nancy Drew tales, she seamlessly intertwines her extensive legal and medical knowledge to create intricate plotlines. Her deep appreciation for art history infuses her stories with an added layer of intrigue, making her narratives uniquely captivating.

From a young age, Kathleen aspired to be an English literature teacher. While life led her down a different trajectory, her enduring love for literature remained. Today, she revisits that early passion, not through teaching, but by weaving enthralling tales for readers to lose themselves in.

Outstanding

Dan Brown has outdone himself. It would be trite to say this was a page turner because it was so much more. Not only are you invested in the characters and plot but the subject matter challenged you at every turn. Excellent foreshadowing,

“days I will report back to you that I have accomplished what I set out to do. Now I must go. My plane is on time, a miracle in Rome.” I sat waiting for his approval and dismissal. He studied me as if he were a human lie detector. Satisfied, he let me rise and walk toward the door unimpeded. Finally, a clean escape was in sight. As he escorted me down the long marble hall floor to the door he said, “Enzo is waiting in the car and will accompany you. It’s not that I don’t trust you, he is there to keep you focused and aid your plan.”
K.J. McGillick, One: Rage Vengeance Murder
