Susan Reiss is a Maryland-based author who writes mysteries rooted in the Chesapeake Bay region. Her best-known work, the St. Michaels Silver Mysteries series, is set in the historic waterfront town of St. Michaels on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The series began with Tarnished Silver in 2013 and ran for seven books, combining traditional mystery plotting with a strong sense of regional character.
Her second series, In Time, takes a different approach, using time travel as its central mechanism. Letters in Time, the first entry published in 2021, launched a series that has grown to eight books by 2025. The In Time series allows Reiss to explore historical settings while maintaining a contemporary anchor for her characters.
Reiss also published a standalone novel, Georgetown Ashes, in 2024, set in Washington, D.C. Her work appeals to readers who enjoy regionally grounded mysteries with strong female protagonists and an interest in history and antiques.
