Jackie Kabler spent years working as a television reporter and presenter before turning to fiction. Her background in news and current affairs shows up in her writing, which often puts ordinary people into extraordinary circumstances and then watches the pressure build. She started with the Cora Baxter Mysteries in 2015, a cozy crime series featuring a TV reporter, before shifting to standalone psychological thrillers.
Her standalone novels have found a bigger audience, with titles like Am I Guilty?, The Perfect Couple, and The Murder List picking up strong word-of-mouth among thriller readers. The books tend to center on secrets, lies, and the moment when carefully maintained appearances start to crack. Kabler has published steadily since 2019, with a new thriller arriving almost every year.
