AUTUMN DOERR
Welcome to my website. I'm Autumn Doerr, a television producer, podcaster, and the author of the Lexi Fagan Mysteries.
If you love a good amateur mystery, you'll fall for Lexi Fagan, a small-town girl finding her way in the big city in the 1980s. In book one, BAKER'S DOZEN, Lexi's San Francisco firefighter boyfriend goes missing. Now she must decide if she's a spectator in her life or someone who will dig for answers. Lexi chooses answers over ignorance, but what she uncovers just might get her killed.
In book two, FREE FOR ALL, office intrigue turns deadly when Lexi's boss at a think tank turns up dead. She's pulled into the investigation and becomes the "eyes and ears" inside the office when homicide detective Robert Reiger enlists her help to uncover the truth as suspects seem to multiply by the day.
In SINS OF THE MOTHER, the third book in the series, Lexi returns to her hometown of Ketchikan, Alaska, for her grandfather's funeral. No sooner does she step off the ferry than Lexi discovers her mother's diary and begins to question whether the bush plane crash that killed her parents when she was a baby was an accident. Caught in a web of betrayal, murder, and a deadly cover-up, Lexi questions everything she thought she knew about herself and her family.
“There's something about a mystery that is satisfying. There is an end. An outcome. A resolution that satisfies the storyteller in all of us.”

aboutme
After graduating from Mills College in 1996, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a television producer and have worked on the Peabody- and GLAAD Award-winning HBO series “We’re Here” and the award-winning newsmagazine “California Connected” that aired on all 12 PBS stations in California.
When not working in television, I am a podcaster and the author of the Lexi Fagan Mysteries. After publishing the third book in the series, SINS OF THE MOTHER, I was honored to be the Crime Writers’ Association featured author for December 2025.
My first podcast was as the host of the “Vampires First Blood Podcast Special” on the origin stories of vampires, basically how Dracula became Dracula. Currently, I am the co-host and co-creator of the “Bloody Good Podcast,” where my BFF Maria Notaras and I discuss all things British mystery television because, as we say on the pod, “Mystery loves company™.”
