Best-Selling Crime Author Kathy Bennet joins Kori on the Back Porch

Kathy Bennett is no stranger to murder and mayhem. After twenty-nine with the Los Angeles Police Department – eight as a civilian employee and twenty-one years as a sworn police officer, this retired cop’s authentic crime experience results in arresting stories.

As a police officer, most of Kathy’s career was spent working patrol in a black and white police car. Prior to retirement, Kathy was assigned as a senior lead officer, with approximately five square miles in the City of Los Angeles as her responsibility. Kathy also served as a firearms instructor at the LAPD Police Academy, a crime analyst in the ‘War Room’, a field-training officer, and worked undercover in various assignments. She was named Officer of the Quarter twice, and Officer of the Year once.

Kathy's debut novel, A Dozen Deadly Roses is a bestselling e-book. Barnes & Noble chose her second novel, A Deadly Blessing, as a Best Book of 2012. Kathy's third book, A Deadly Justice, became a bestselling police procedural novel. Readers have praised her fourth book, A Deadly Denial, as her best book yet. Kathy is currently working on her next book.
