Louise Penny is a Canadian author of mystery novels.

Penny was born in Toronto where she earned a Bachelor of Applied Arts from  Ryerson University. Before she turned to writing in 2004, she was a journalist and radio host for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in various cities across Canada for 25 years. She currently lives in a village south of Montreal with her husband Michael.

Her oeuvre is a series of mystery novels featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, head of the homicide department of the Sûreté du Québec. The novels, although set in the province of Quebec, feature many hallmarks of the British whodunit genre, including murders by unconventional means, bucolic villages, large casts of suspects, red herrings, and a dramatic disclosure of the murderer in the last few pages of the book.

Since turning to writing, Penny has enjoyed remarkable success, garnering major crime novel award nominations for her first four novels, and subsequently winning several of those awards.
