Lara Bricker is a journalist, true crime author, former private investigator and certified cat detective. She has been writing and reporting on crime and justice issues since 1998.
Her work has appeared in the Portsmouth Herald, the Exeter News-Letter, the Hampton Union, the New Hampshire Union Leader, Woman’s World magazine, USA Today, and the Boston Globe. In 2008, she covered the first death penalty case to go to trial in New Hampshire in almost fifty years for the Associated Press.
Lara is the author of the true-crime hit Lie after Lie: The True Story of a Master of Deception, Betrayal, and Murder. You can also get a whiff of her wit and wisdom in the book How Do You Milk a Moose Anyway?
As a news reporter, she has received numerous awards from both the New Hampshire Press Association and the New England Newspaper & Press Association for her crime and investigative reporting.
She currently writes the Exeter Life column for Seacoast Media Group and produces the companion podcast.
Lara was previously a licensed private detective. She worked as a defense investigator for the New Hampshire Public Defender system for seven years.
Lara has been one of four crime writers on the hit podcast, Crime Writers On, since 2014. She is the host of the Patreon-exclusive podcast “Leave It To Bricker,” where she investigates mysteries – or at least mysteries to her – in her little town. Since becoming a certified cat detective, many of those mysteries are of the feline variety.
Lara loves the Exeter community where she lives and is often out and about in town. She is a board member of Exeter LitFest, which hosts an annual weekend literary festival to celebrate the rich literary heritage of the town of Exeter, NH. She is also an active member of the booster club at Great Bay Charter School.
Lara lives in Exeter, New Hampshire where she can often be found walking around town plotting her next local murder mystery or riding her pink scooter.
