Heather Young is the author of two literary mystery novels. The Lost Girls (2016) is a multi-generational story about family secrets and a child’s disappearance. The Distant Dead (2020) is set in a small Nevada town where a teacher is found dead.
Both novels combine mystery plotting with literary fiction’s attention to character and setting. The four-year gap between the two books suggests a careful approach to writing, with each novel receiving strong critical attention.
