Heather Redmond is an American author who specializes in historical mysteries. She is best known for her A Dickens of a Crime series, which reimagines a young Charles Dickens as an amateur sleuth in 1830s London. The five-book series, which started with A Tale of Two Murders in 2018, blends real details from Dickens’s early life with fictional murder investigations.
Redmond’s Mary Shelley Mystery series takes a similar approach, placing the author of Frankenstein at the center of criminal investigations. Beginning with Death and the Sisters in 2023, the series draws on the real social circles and historical context of Shelley’s life. She also writes the Journaling Mystery series, a contemporary cozy mystery line that began with Journaled to Death in 2019. Redmond also publishes romance novels under the name Heather Hiestand.
