Tess Marlowe

Tess Marlowe is the author of the Island Whodunnit cozy mystery series, where sun, sand, and suspicious neighbors are never far from a good murder. She loves writing about found family, mischievous pets, and small-town chaos with a tropical twist. Her stories are crafted to make readers laugh, gasp, and feel right at home—whether curled up under a blanket or lounging by the beach.

When she’s not plotting fictional crimes, Tess enjoys scuba diving, sipping too much iced coffee, and walking along the shore with her yellow Labrador, Boo. She believes mysteries should be smart, heartwarming, and just a little bit cheeky—because every reader deserves a tangled whodunnit and a good laugh.

Tess currently resides in a quiet compound by the Red Sea.
