pril Henry has written six mysteries and thrillers. The critics say April is “a talent to watch” (Toronto Globe and Mail), “spoiling us” (Washington Times) and “a rising mystery writer” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Her novels have been called “splendid” (Denver Post), “witty and fun” (Dallas Morning News) “fast paced and harrowing” (BookPage), “cracker-jack” (Drood Review), “a galloping-fast read” (The Oregonian) and “off-beat and vital” (Publisher’s Weekly). They have been short-listed for the Agatha Award, the Anthony Award, and the Oregon Book Award.
Two have been chosen for BookSense by the independent booksellers of America.
In the spring of 2009, April will have two new books out. In Torched, April's second young adult thriller, 16-year-old Ellie takes the name "Sky" and goes undercover with a group like the Environmental Liberation Front. And the first book in a new adult mysteries series—called the Faith & Consequences series—and co-written with Fox legal analyst Lis Wiehl will also be published.
April writes articles for Writers Digest, reviews books for the Oregonian, and has taught at Portland State's Haystack program. April talks about books and writing with children and adults at schools, libraries, bookstores, and book festivals. She has even chatted by speakerphone with book groups.
