Lydia Travers
Lydia Travers writes cosy crimes set in Scotland. In her first series, The Scottish Ladies’ Detective Agency (published by Bookouture), events take place in the Edwardian period. Private detective Maud McIntyre and her assistant Daisy Cameron solve crimes in Edinburgh, the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Mull. The first novel, with the same title as the name of the series, won a Scottish Association of Writers’ Constable Silver Stag trophy.
Lydia’s current series, Lady Poppy Proudfoot, is set in 1920s Scotland, and features Lady Poppy, her disapproving lady’s maid, her keen-as-mustard Labrador, Major – and the gorgeous Highlander Inspector MacKenzie, who thinks a crime scene is no place for a Lady… Death at the Highland Loch is the first book in the series
Lydia lives with her husband in a village on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. She has raised children, bred dogs and kept chickens. A former legal academic and practitioner with a PhD in criminology, she now runs self-catering holiday accommodation, sings in a local choir and is walked daily by her Labrador.
Lydia also writes historical romance novels under the name Linda Tyler.
