J.A. Hennrikus is an American mystery writer known for the Theater Cop Mystery series, which features a police officer who moonlights in community theater. The first book, A Christmas Peril (2017), combines a holiday setting with a theatrical mystery, and the second, With a Kiss I Die (2019), continues the mix of crime-solving and backstage drama.
Hennrikus also writes under the pen name Julia Henry, producing the Clock Shop Mystery series under that name. Her writing falls squarely in the cozy mystery tradition, with humor, small-town settings, and protagonists who get tangled up in crimes that are more puzzle than thriller. The Theater Cop books are published by Midnight Ink and have found an audience among readers who enjoy mysteries with a performing arts angle.
