Robyn Harding (born c. 1969 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)[1] is a Canadian crime writer who has written several bestselling novels.[2] Her notable works include The Drowning Woman, The Perfect Family, The Arrangement, Her Pretty Face, and The Party.

Personal life

Harding is the adopted daughter of Robert and Margaret Harding.[1]

Before being a novelist, she worked as an advertising executive for seven years.[1]

Career

Harding published her first novel, The Journal of Mortifying Moments, in 2004. In an interview, Harding stated: "Over the years I'd attempted to write deep, literary novels but I never got very far and they were never very good. When I decided to try my hand at humor and came up with the concept for The Journal of Mortifying Moments, it flowed much more smoothly."[1]

She was nominated for the 2018 Arthur Ellis Awards for Best Novel for The Party; however, this book lost to Peter Robinson's Sleeping in the Ground.[3]

She wrote the screenplay for the comedy film The Steps.[4]
