Amy Myers

Amy Myers is a successful author of crime novels and historical fiction, who was born in Kent, where she still resides. For several years, she worked in publishing before deciding to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Myers is married to an American and has lived in Paris, where she first conceived the idea of her Victorian chef detective, Auguste Didier. She is now a full-time writer and has created several series, including Peter and Georgia March, Auguste Didier, Tom Wasp, Marsh & Daughter, and Jack Colby.

Myers' series are varied, but all fall under the Agatha Christie category, with a mystery at the heart of each story and a sleuth to solve it. Some of her series are set in the past, such as those starring her 1920s chef Nell Drury, her Victorian chef Auguste Didier, and her Victorian chimney sweep Tom Wasp. These series take readers back in time and immerse them in a world of historical intrigue. On the other hand, Myers' contemporary crime series, such as Marsh & Daughter and Jack Colby, are set in the present day and often involve mysteries that hark back to the past.

Myers' love for writing shines through in her work, and she has a knack for creating engaging characters and intriguing plots that keep readers guessing until the very end. Her diverse series offer something for everyone, and her ability to transport readers to different time periods and settings is truly remarkable.
