As a crime reporter, Christi Daugherty saw her first dead body at the age of twenty-two. Over the years there would be many more while she covered murders in cities like Savannah, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. Her writing eventually took her to England, where she wrote the Night School series of thrillers for young adults under the name C.J. Daugherty. That series was an international bestseller, and has been translated into 24 languages. The Echo Killing is her first adult novel. She resides in the south of England.
