Kimberly Giarratano

Kimberly Giarratano (Jer-ah-tahn-o) is the author of Death of a Dancing Queen, Devil in Profile, and Make a Killing, a series about a tenacious private eye who snuffs out crime in the North Jersey suburbs.

Kim previously served on the national board of Sisters in Crime and is currently an instructor at SUNY Orange County Community College. Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Kim and her husband moved to the Poconos to raise their kids amid black bears and wild turkeys.
