About CP Daly

My reading tastes are an eclectic mix of mystery, crime, historical fiction, romance and the occasional fantasy novel.

I made the leap from writing short stories to completing a mystery/thriller trilogy.

The Kelsey Woods trilogy:
Dead After Midnight
Dead Before Sunrise
Dead Days Ahead

Bloody Water, is my first stand alone thriller and was released in 2024. It is set in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I am busy working on my next thriller, which is set in Iowa and will be released in 2026.
I live in the beautiful East Coast of Canada with my family.

Member of Sisters in Crime.

3.5 stars I enjoyed this book, but I didn't devour it like some of the authors other books. I found the male characters a little flat. It entertained me, but not my favorite of all her books. ...more
