Autorenporträt
Merryn Allingham was born into an army family and spent her childhood moving around the UK and abroad. It gave her itchy feet, and in her twenties she escaped an unloved secretarial career to work as cabin crew and see the world. The arrival of marriage, children and cats meant a more settled life in the south of England, where she has lived ever since. It also gave her the opportunity to go back to 'school' and eventually teach at university. Merryn has always loved books that bring the past to life, so when she began writing herself the novels had to be historical. She finds the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries fascinating to research and has written extensively on these periods in the Daisy's War trilogy and the Summerhayes novels. All her work contains mystery and suspense as well as romance, so it's not surprising that with the Tremayne Mysteries Series, she has gone completely over to the dark side!
