Criminal law professor. NYT bestselling author of 20+ crime novels. I like dogs and food (separately). Www.alafairburke.com. New book is THE NOTE–you should get it.
“The Queen of Wonderfully Messy Twists” may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me. Lol.
Literally read the entirety of The Note by Alafair Burke in like a day. The queen of wonderfully messy twists does it again!!!! Also loved the show adaptation of The Better Sister you rock!!! @alafairburke.bsky.social
