Tessa Harris: novelist & journalist
Tessa Harris
Welcome to my web pages. Like many writers, I lead a double life. For almost 30 years I've been a journalist by day, but always a closet novelist and screenplay writer by night. That changed with the publication (in December 2011) of my first historical crime novel in the Dr Thomas Silkstone Mystery series, The Anatomist's Apprentice (winner of the RT Best First Mystery Award). My second novel in the series, The Dead Shall Not Rest, came out in December 2012 and there are more planned to follow. Both the fact and the fiction elements of my life do, however, co-exist very happily and are united in my passion for history.

What they said about The Anatomist's Apprentice
Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice First Mystery Award 2012
A "densely plotted yarn about a crafty 18th-century poisoner wreaking havoc on the Oxfordshire estate of a noble family......we await — indeed, demand — the sequel."
New York Times
An "engrossing, lively and satisfying series debut."
Barbara Clark, BookPage
Harris’ research is meticulous. The results are a historical CSI with a romance and excellent mystery.
Romantic Times
Harris has more than a few tricks up her sleeve, and even veteran armchair puzzle solvers are likely to be surprised.
