Christine Wells

    Táto autorka sa pustila do písania v ranom veku a odvtedy ju opustila len málokedy. Po právnickej kariére, ktorá inšpirovala jej prvé pokusy o kriminálnu fikciu, sa s vervou vrhla na historické romány z obdobia Regency. Jej diela, často zasadené do právnického prostredia alebo elegantných spoločenských kruhov, sa vyznačujú bystrým pozorovaním ľudskej povahy a jemným humorom. Venuje sa detailnému vykresleniu postáv a atmosféry, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do minulej éry.
