An Illinois native, she moved south to Winter Garden, Florida, with her husband, Mike, to escape the snow and start a new chapter as a mystery writer. Bones Under the Ice is her debut novel and the first book in the Jhonni Laurent Mystery Series.

Jance and Craig Johnson or anyone who likes small-town settings, small-town secrets, and lots of characters."" --Library Journal ""Sheriff Jhonni Laurent, flawed but decent, is up against a murder case, a political enemy, and winter itself in Mary Ann Miller's cracker of a debut. Bones Under the Ice is a satisfying police procedural, an absorbing character study, a love letter to a harsh landscape, and the perfect series opener. I'll be back for book two."" --Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of In Place of Fear ""Bones Under the Ice is an engrossing mystery novel in which a small-town sheriff's skills are tested when she's tasked with solving cold-minded murders."" --Foreword Reviews ""Set in rural, blizzard-frozen Indiana, Mary Ann Miller's Bones Under the Ice launches a chilling police procedural series.

As with Laurent, adversity developed strength and integrity. More than an excellent mystery, Bones Under the Ice is a tale of one person's perseverance. Highly recommended!"" --Bookreporter ""[Bones Under the Ice is a] carefully crafted and original suspense thriller of a 'whodunnit' mystery will have a particular appeal to readers with an interest in police procedural murder mysteries . . . Unreservedly recommended."" --Midwest Book Review"
