Christobel Kent
Christobel Kent was born in London in 1962 and educated at Cambridge.
She has lived variously in Essex, London and Italy.
Her childhood included several years spent living on a Thames sailing barge in Maldon, Essex, with her father, stepmother, three siblings and four step-siblings.
She has had seventeen novels published: the first four being standalone thrillers set in Italy, followed by the six novels in the Sandro Cellini Florentine detective series.
Since then she has written seven psychological thrillers roughly in the ‘domestic noir’ genre, including the Sunday Times bestseller The Loving Husband.
She now lives in both Cambridge and Florence with her husband and five children.
