Kate Westbury grew up a voracious reader of detective fiction, and unraveling plot twists became her favorite pastime. She now puts her whodunnit obsession to good use writing historical mysteries. Beyond the page, Kate teaches Latin and dreams of moving to an English village with crimes to solve. Her debut, The Oxford Guide to Scandal and Lies, will publish with Minotaur Books in Fall 2026. She is represented by Whitney Ross of High Line Literary Collective.
