Kurzbiographie: The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Krich was born in Germany and lived in New Jersey and in New York before moving with her family to Los Angeles in 1960. With a master’s degree in English from U.C.L.A., she taught high school English for eighteen years, chairing the English department at Yeshiva University of Los Angeles High Schools, and received the Milken Families Foundation Award for Distinguished Educator of the Year and the Samuel Belkin Memorial Award for professional achievement. Past editor of the national Sisters in Crime newsletter and a former director of the National Board of Directors of the Mystery Writers of America, Krich remains active in both organizations and is a member of the American Crime Writers League. Krich was still teaching and raising six children when she began her writing career. Krich's fully realized characters, careful plotting, page-turning suspense, and the seamless way she weaves her Orthodox Judaism and contemporary social problems into many of her works. "Krich," observes Kirkus, "doesn't shrink from big issues."

Fertile Ground H von Rochelle Krich

I picked up my first Krich just after it was published and I have waited breathlessly for each subsequent book and never been disappointed. Her books are just what I look for when I open a cover... great stories, subplots on topics that are fascinating, strong, credible characters that I care about and a flawless read with no cheap shots. Fertile Ground is another example. I'm a passionate supporter of a woman's personal right to make her own decisions about her body. So, I would ordinarily avoid a novel that might piss me off. EXCEPT if it's written by Rochelle Krich. Dr. Lisa Brockman is a staff physician at a fertility clinic.

Blood Money von Rochelle Majer Krich

LAPD Detective Jesse Drake is first on the scene when an elderly man is found dead on the golf course. She had a hard time convincing her superiors that it was even murder and then solving the crime is even more difficult. The clue is the numbers tattooed on the victim's arm. Krich has a wonderful compelling voice and gentle way of educating the reader. She is an Orthodox Jew and has an uncanny understanding of the non-Jew - what is confusing, what should be explained and how to do it. This makes everyone of her mysteries, great stories in their own right, even more interesting.… (mehr)

Shadows of Sin: A Jessie Drake Mystery von Rochelle Krich

This is the latest in the Jesse Drake series and a good one. A plastic surgeon is murdered and Jess Drake of the LAPD has way too many suspects - his wife, his daughter, his adopted son, etc. An interesting story with interesting characters.
