Check out my latest Substack: HOOKED, my upcoming thriller, was written out of nostalgia for my tribe of journalists and Ye Olde Newsroom. caitlinrother.substack.com/p/hooked-was...

Just in: “Sunshine, murder, and money—Caitlin Rother’s appropriately titled HOOKED has it all, and feeds it to the reader one stimulating bite at a time. Rother's tight plot and sharp details bait the reader into joining her on this thrilling ride.” --Jaime Parker Stickle, author of VICIOUS CYCLE

I am so excited and grateful for this review of HOOKED by Jennifer Silva Redmond, who was "hooked" as soon as she read about investigative reporter Katrina Chopin: "But all that pales in comparison to the plot—which grabbed my interest from the first pages and never let go." Thank you, Jennifer!

I'd really like to connect with readers and authors here, because FB is filled with ads and crap. My friends' posts are lost, like mine. It feels daunting to try to get the word out about my 2 upcoming thrillers, let alone the 2 true crime books that came out this year. Are you out there?

Amid all the chaos and mayhem, a nice man handed out flowers to the ladies at the breakfast place in my neighborhood this morning. "Because it matters," he said, asking Geza's permission to give me this pretty yellow rose with peach tipping. Yes, it does. Thank you.

Wanted to share my big news! The ARCs have arrived for the first in my new "Katrina & Goode" series, out in January 2026!

Thanks to KFMB for this story last night about my new book, #downtothebone. Here's the clip: www.cbs8.com/article/news...

Lawrence O'Donnell is so good. So informative. So smart and so funny. Especially tonight. He gives me hope.

Can’t say I’m sad I left CBS last month. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Another great Q&A with @caitlinrother.bsky.social on her new book on the McStay family murders. www.militarypress.com/interview-wi...

Funny, all you have to do is water them! I'm going to focus on the beauty, not chaos and despair, today. Take a walk on the beach and eat BBQ with my beau.

Thank you to The Book Connection for this positive review: "I highly recommend Down to the Bone by Caitlin Rother to those interested in true crime stories and investigative journalism... and anyone interested in an engaging account of how the justice system played out for those involved."

Thanks to Maureen's Musings for this lovely review! "If you enjoy true crime, this is a book that gives it all. Was justice served? You will have to decide for yourself. What a job of research the author did to give us all, and I mean all, the facts."

BOOK OF THE DAY: Down to the Bone by @caitlinrother.bsky.social Citadel Books Hardcover #BookSky 💙📚 (Sorry, this is late. I was traveling.) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/731344...

My book arrived today! I’m so excited to read it tonight.

Had a great time talking about my book #downtothebone at the San Juan Capistrano Library today! I gave a PowerPoint photo demonstration with my talk, which I'm still getting used to. Lots a good questions. They got it.

Talk and signing at the Fallbrook library tomorrow (Thursday) night at 6:30pm! Are you coming? #downtothebone #mcstayfamilymurders

It’s a stunner. timesofsandiego.com/arts/2025/06...

What a great launch tonight. We had to get extra chairs and we sold out of books. I so appreciate everyone who made time for the trip out of their busy schedules. It was great to see some longtime friends. My heart is full.

When I start researching a new true crime case, I keep an open mind, question accepted premises, and dig for details that go behind the story that everybody thinks they already know. More in this essay I wrote for CrimeReads. crimereads.com/caitlin-roth...

It feels like my birthday! www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/24/b...

Thank you for this lovely review!

Thank you for your support, Bianca!

A little video about my new book and an invitation to my July 9 talk at the Coronado Library! My first launch event is this Tuesday, June 24 at 7pm at the Mira Mesa Barnes & Noble.
