Todd Ritter was born in rural Pennsylvania to a bank teller mother and a father who dabbled in taxidermy. He grew up among Bambi-esque forests and wide-open fields straight out of the cropduster scene from North by Northwest. Appropriately, his two biggest influences are Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock.
A journalist for more than 15 years, he began his career as a film critic while attending Penn State University. Currently, he works at The Star-Ledger, New Jersey's largest daily newspaper. In the interim, he has interviewed celebrities, covered police standoffs and, yes, even written and edited obituaries.
He is currently working on his second Kat Campbell mystery, BAD MOON.
“With Death Notice, talented newcomer Todd Ritter takes readers on
a roller-coaster ride of thrills and chills. Ritter has conceived a
mystery that will remain in your memory long after you finish the
book. Just don’t read it when you’re alone.”
Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author of Pray for
Silence. “Death Notice is a tense and twisty whodunit from a fresh
new voice in fiction. With well-drawn characters and spare,
unflinching prose, Todd Ritter offers an atmospheric and
emotionally rich debut. Mystery fans will love their visit to
Ritter’s Perry Hollow.”
Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Fragile “An
impressive first novel.” Reviewingtheevidence.com
