About the author

Susan Walter was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After being given every opportunity, but failing to become a concert violinist, Susan attended Harvard University. She took an internship at the local TV station in hopes of becoming a newscaster, but flubbed her audition, so was given a job writing promos instead.

Seeking sunshine and a change of scenery, she moved to Los Angeles to work in film and television production. Upon realizing writers were having all the fun, Susan became a screenwriter, then a director. She made her directorial debut on "All I Wish" starring Sharon Stone, which she also wrote. Susan transitioned to writing novels during the pandemic so she could murder people without consequences.

When not writing (and also maybe while writing) Susan can be found streaming Red Sox baseball and drinking too much coffee.

Praise for Murder at 30,000 Feet:

‘With twists and turns and deadly turbulence, Murder at 30,000 Feet is rife with suspects, shady agendas, and passengers hiding deadly secrets’
Gregg Hurwitz, international bestselling author of Orphan X


Writing a mystery is like being inside an intricate maze. I’m the author; I should know which way to turn - but my writing is more alive when I’m a little scared. So no, I don’t have a plan. But I do have fun, which makes it more likely my readers will, too.
