Crime Writer.
Storyteller.
Woman in the Red Dress.

Alessandra Ranelli is an American author living abroad in Vienna, Austria. Her work focuses on love, lust, and loss. She’s been known to kiss and tell.

Alessandra’s crime writing is influenced by her love of old Hollywood glamour and golden age crime. Her style is a cocktail made from a generous pour of bourbon, an ounce of film noir, and a dash of bawdy humor — served in a rocks glass, with red lipstick staining the rim.

As a professional storyteller she has a reputation for making audiences laugh and cry in equal measure. Alessandra is known for her New York Times Modern Love essay "Two Kisses We Never Talked About" and her debut crime novel, "Murder at the Hotel Orient"
