Person
Lynn Shepherd writes 'literary mysteries' - in other words, one part literary fiction to one part mystery, each time inspired either by a classic book or classic literary figures. The greats works that drive her books include Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, Charles Dicken's Bleak House, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula. After studying English at university she decided to combine her two greatest literary loves: classic English novels and a good detective fiction, and hasn't put down her pen since.
