Lesley McEvoy

A New Leaf bookshop presents an event with crime writer Lesley McEvoy. 

A Yorkshire crime writer with a background as a Behavioural Analysist/Profiler and Psychotherapist, Lesley will talk about her Jo McCready series of crime novels, from her debut The Murder Mile to latest The Invisible Dead 

Lesley McEvoy was born and bred in Yorkshire and has always had a passion for writing. This took a backseat as she developed her career as a Behavioural Analyst/Profiler and Psychotherapist – setting up her own Consultancy business and therapy practice.  

She has written and presented extensively around the world for over 25 years, specialising in behavioural profiling and training, and has worked in some of the UK’s toughest prisons, where she met people whose experiences informed the themes she now writes about.  

Her debut novel The Murder Mile (2019) has been followed by three further titles featuring forensic psychologist Dr Jo McCready, The Killing Song, A Deadly Likeness and The Invisible Dead.
