About the Author

Thank you for visiting my Amazon author page! I'm the author of the Dr Ruth Galloway books, the Brighton Mysteries and four standalone titles featuring DI Harbinder Kaur. I've also written a middle grade mystery series, A Girl Called Justice. My new series, about time-travelling detective Ali Dawson, started in 2025 with The Frozen People. I was born in London but moved to Brighton when I was five. I always wanted to be an author and wrote my first detective story, The Hair of the Dog, when I was 11. I studied English at King's College London and worked in a library before joining HarperCollins as a publicity assistant, eventually becoming editorial director for children's fiction. I wrote my first published novel, The Italian Quarter, whilst on maternity leave expecting my twins. Three other books followed, all written under my real name, Domenica de Rosa. When I wrote my first crime novel, The Crossing Places, I was advised to get a 'crime name'. I chose Elly Griffiths, after my grandmother, and have now published 32 books under that name.. I live near Brighton with my husband, Andy. We have two grown-up children and a cat.
