About

A.K. Benedict read English at Cambridge and 20th Century Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Sussex. She lives in Hastings and writes in a red-walled room filled with mannequins, teapots and the severed head of a ventriloquist’s dummy.  She did have a blow-up pirate but punctured it.

Alexandra was the front-person of an underground indie band, has composed music for film and television and is currently writing a television detective series and completing her novel. The Beauty of Murder is due to be published by Orion in late 2012.
