About the author

I was born into an army family and spent my childhood moving around the UK and abroad. Unsurprisingly it gave me itchy feet and in my twenties I escaped an unloved secretarial career to work as cabin crew and see the world.

I still love to travel and visit new places, especially those with an interesting history, but the arrival of marriage, children and cats meant a more settled life in the south of England, where I've lived ever since. It also gave me the opportunity to go back to 'school' and eventually teach at university.

I've written seven historical novels, all mysteries with a helping of suspense and a dash of romance - sometimes set in exotic locations and often against a background of stirring world events.

My latest novel, A Tale of Two Sisters, is set in Constantinople at the turn of the 20th century when rebellion within the Ottoman Empire is growing ever louder. Against this background the novel traces the fate of two sisters, Alice and Lydia Verinder, and explores themes of family, love and loss.

Following Daisy from her dull life in England to her journey to India you see her fulfill a chance to discover herself and find a happiness that was missing from her life
A great book that ends a great series

Exciting Ending to a Great Series!!

This book was as interesting as the other two in the series. Some moral issues but no detailed sexual content. Wicked and violent men aplenty. And again some things stretching credulity. But the story and the writing about India in all three books just excellent. And all three proved clearly that no matter what human ruler or government rules, as the Proverb says, “the people suffer when the wicked rule.”

An excellent finish to what has been a good series of books.

Please let's have some more Merryn.

Final book in the trilogy about Daisy Driscoll. This one brings Daisy the conclusion of her search for her identity and the reason why she has always felt so connected to India. There are also many dangers brought about by the strong feelings in India engendered by the Partition.

What a fab book. It bought Daisy's story to a great ending,plenty of tense twists and turns and a few laughs too. Sad to see the story end...but I guess never say never,Merryn 'could' continue the story **crosses fingers**
What a great series, definitely going to look out for her other books.

The est book in the trilog.y

This is the final part of the Daisy Driscoll trilogy.
Daisy returns to India to try and find her roots.
The book is very readable but I didn't like having to read all 3 books before Daisy and Grayson get together.

not my favourite

I really enjoyed the first book, but feel it rather strung out the story to make three books. I found Daisy’s oscillating back and fourth with Grayson frustrating and annoying. This could easily have been made into two books rather than three.
