Cynthia E. Hurst is the author of two mystery series set in contemporary Seattle, the R&P Labs Mysteries and the Zukie Merlino Mysteries, the Silver and Simm Mysteries and Milestone Agency series, both set in Victorian England, and the Time Traveller Trilogy, which wanders through various bits of English history.
Like her characters in the R&P and Zukie novels, she grew up in Seattle, then graduated from the University of Oregon with a journalism degree. She worked on newspapers and magazines in the Pacific Northwest and in Britain, and also spent five years as a housing officer for British military families.
The R&P Labs books were inspired by the small Seattle laboratory where her parents – both scientists – worked, and the Zukie books by her Italian relatives.
She now lives in Oxfordshire, the setting for the Silver and Simm and Milestone Agency series. The Time Traveller Trilogy stemmed from an unfortunate incident.(The R&P Labs Mysteries series)"Northwest noir with a twist of wit and an intriguing cast of characters."-- Mary Daheim, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of the B&B and Alpine/Emma Lord mystery series
