KATARINA BIVALD GREW up working part-time in a bookstore, dreaming of becoming an author. In 2013, the dream came true when she published her New York Times bestselling debut The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend.
THE NOVEL WAS an instant success, made it onto the New York Times bestseller list and sold to 29 territories. It was a Richard & Judy Book Club pick in the UK and won Debut of the Year at the French literary festival, Saint Maure En Poche.
BIVALD HAS SINCE written two more heartwarming novels, Uneasy Rider released in 2015 and Welcome to the Pine Away Motel and Cabins, which came out in 2018. The Berit Gardner Series is Katarina Bivald’s latest project, a colourful cosy crime series about the nosey and loveable Swedish author Berit Gardner who can’t help solving murders when she should be writing a new bestseller. The first book in the series, The Murders in Great Diddling, was awarded with The Lilian Jackson Braun Memorial Award by the Mystery Writers of America in 2025.
