Alex Kenna is a mystery writer, prosecutor, and amateur painter. Before law school, Alex studied painting and art history at Penn. She has also worked as a freelance art critic and sold art in a gallery.
Originally from Washington DC, Alex lives in Sierra Madre, California with her husband, two sons, and giant schnauzer, Zelda, who is frequently mistaken for a bear. For the past ten years, Alex has prosecuted a variety of violent and white-collar crimes. Her fiction is heavily informed by her law enforcement and fine art background.
When she’s not writing Alex can be found nerding out in art museums, exploring flea markets, wrangling toddlers, and playing string instruments badly.
Alex’s debut novel, What Meets the Eye, was nominated for a Shamus Award for best first PI novel. Her second novel, BURN THIS NIGHT, was released in November 2024.
