Jo Bannister is a British crime fiction novelist.

Life and work

She began her career as a journalist and rose to become editor of the County Down Spectator before resigning to devote all her time to her writing. She has had over 30 novels published both in English and translated into several other languages.
Most of these belong to five series, while nine are standalone novels.
