About Angela Henry

I have been a lover of mysteries and all things mysterious since I was a child. I cut my teeth on Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon. But as I got older I started to wonder if there were any mysteries that featured or were written by African-Americans like me. I knew about a few characters brought to life by television and the movies. But I knew there had to be more than just Shaft, Christie Love, and Virgil Tibbs.

Then, in the early 1990s, on my regular trip to the library, I saw it. Sitting proudly on the new books table was Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely.

I devoured that book and have since discovered many others. This site is in response to them.

As well as being an avid mystery reader, I'm also the author of the Kendra Clayton mystery series. Visit me at www.AngelaHenry.com.
