Hi, I'm Cristina Matta, an award-winning mystery author, lifelong storyteller, and survivor of the 2007 earthquake in Peru.
I write across the mystery spectrum. My work ranges from sharp, satirical detective fiction to suspenseful, emotionally layered crime novels. My Crack the Case series turns the classic whodunit on its head. Outrageous plots, multiple endings to choose from, and a blog written by the lead detective himself. serves up real-life forensic facts, behind-the-scenes case commentary from the lead detective, and snark. Lots of snark.
Coming soon: a mystery novel inspired by my own experience surviving an 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Peru. It's the first in a psychological suspense trilogy about trauma, corruption, and what happens when you return to a place forever changed.
