Ellery Adams is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than forty mystery novels. Known for incisive portrayals of female friendship, her work explores how connection can strengthen communities—and how pressure to be perfect can fracture bonds in dangerous ways. Adams writes women as complex, flawed, and powerful in her fiction. Invasive Species, her genre-blending novel about four suburban women and an ancient sea creature, will be published by Hanover Square Press in April 2026. She grew up near Long Island Sound and lives in North Carolina.
