Katie Tallo is a Canadian author who writes mystery and thriller novels. Before turning to fiction, she worked as a screenwriter and filmmaker. Her debut novel, Dark August, was published in 2020 and introduced readers to Augusta “Gus” Monet, a protagonist with a personal connection to the cold cases she investigates.
The Gus Monet series has grown to three books, with Poison Lilies following in 2022 and Buried Road in 2024. Each novel takes Gus deeper into tangled mysteries set against Canadian landscapes, blending suspense with emotional depth. Tallo’s background in film gives her writing a visual, cinematic quality that keeps the pace tight and the tension high.
