The Author
Leslie is a debut novelist whose lifelong passion for mysteries began in childhood with the works of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Those early encounters with intricate plotting and psychological suspense sparked a love of the genre.
The Hyperrealist draws deeply from Leslie's decade-long career as an art dealer and gallery director in Mexico City, where she developed an intimate understanding of the art world's peculiar blend of beauty and commerce, creativity and calculation.
She currently lives in Spain with her husband, two children, and two dogs. When she is not writing, she enjoys reading, visiting galleries, or searching for great restaurants.
This is her first novel.
