Lisa Cutts is a British crime fiction author who spent twenty-five years with Kent Police before retiring to write full-time. The daughter of a former Metropolitan Police officer, she joined the force in 1996 and spent much of her career investigating murders. That experience runs through all of her fiction.
Her first published works were the DC Nina Foster novels, Never Forget and Remember, Remember, which draw on her years in policing. Never Forget was longlisted for the Waverton Good Read Award and won the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for Best Thriller in 2014. She went on to write standalone police procedurals including Mercy Killing, Buried Secrets, and Lost Lives, all set around the fictional East Rise Major Crime Team.
More recently, Cutts has turned to cozy mystery with her Belinda Penshurst series, set in a fictional Kent village. She also writes a monthly column called Behind the Tape for Writing Magazine, where she answers police procedural questions from other crime writers.
