Irina Shapiro

Born in Russia, Irina Shapiro moved to the United States with her family when she was twelve. Her experience of two cultures has shaped her interest in stories that cross borders, eras, and lives, and is reflected in novels that often weave together past and present.

Irina is best known for her historical mysteries, time-travel novels, and dual-timeline stories. Her romantic suspense series combine history, romance, and mystery, while her Victorian murder mystery series, including Redmond and Haze and Tate and Bell, have found a loyal readership among fans of the genre.

Though her stories are works of fiction, Irina enjoys exploring the historical periods in which they are set and grounding her plots in carefully researched detail. Her novels blend suspense, romance, and history with an emphasis on character, atmosphere, and the enduring connections between past and present.
