Casey Close

The Architect of The Lake Country Mysteries

Casey Close writes character-driven mysteries rooted in the quiet power of place, where Grace Manor holds its own memories and the still waters of Lake Trinity keep their secrets close. Inspired by the rugged beauty and subtle menace of America’s lake country, his mysteries are told through the eyes of reluctant sleuth Erica Grace who, with the help her clever mentor, the mystery-loving Auntie Em, uncover the truths their small community would rather leave buried.

Before his early retirement, Casey was a freelance writer who worked up and down the west coast of Lake Michigan from downtown Chicago to beautiful Door County.
