Tessa Harris is a British author who writes historical fiction and historical mystery. Her first series, Dr. Thomas Silkstone, follows an American anatomist working in 18th-century England who gets drawn into murder investigations. The six-book series, published between 2011 and 2016, blends real medical history with fictional crimes.
Harris also wrote the Constance Piper Mystery series, set in the gaslit streets of Victorian London and featuring a young woman with a connection to the spirit world. After completing both mystery series, she shifted to standalone historical novels with titles like Beneath a Starless Sky (2020) and The Paris Notebook (2023), which explore 20th-century European history through personal stories.
Her books are well-researched and grounded in the details of their respective eras, making them appealing to readers who want their mysteries steeped in real history.
