Withrow writes character-driven mystery novels filled with secrets, surprises, and the occasional outbreak of Florida absurdity.The Havenmere Mysteries combine classic whodunits, sharp observations about community life, and the conviction that age, experience, and curiosity are badly underrated tools for solving crimes. Inspired by the colorful personalities, friendships, and rivalries found in active adult communities, the series follows amateur sleuth Sylvia Stern as she uncovers what lies buried beneath manicured fairways and country club perfection.When not writing, W.A. Withrow enjoys reading mystery novels, spending time with family, and serving as staff to several highly opinionated dogs who remain unimpressed by publishing deadlines.Join the Havenmere newsletter for bonus content, Barry updates, behind-the-scenes notes from Sylvia's murder book, and advance notice of upcoming mysteries at havenmere-mysteries.com
