Andrew Taylor ist ein hoch angesehener britischer Krimi- und Historienroman-Autor. Er wurde am 14. Oktober 1951 in East Anglia geboren und verbrachte seine Kindheit in der Region. Später besuchte er The King's School, Ely, und Woodbridge School. Sein Interesse am Schreiben führte dazu, dass er nach seinem Abschluss in Cambridge ein MA in Library Sciences am University College London erwarb.
Taylors Schreibkarriere begann in den 1980er Jahren, und seitdem hat er über 45 Bücher veröffentlicht, von denen viele Bestseller wurden. Sein erster Roman, Caroline Minuscule (1982), stellte die Welt des Geschichtestudenten William Dougal vor und brachte Taylor große kritische Anerkennung ein. Anschließend verfasste er mehrere andere Thriller-Reihen, darunter die acht Lydmouth-Bücher, die mit An Air That Kills (1994) begannen. Taylors Romane wurden mit zahlreichen Auszeichnungen geehrt, darunter der Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award der Crime Writers’ Association of Britain, den er zweimal gewonnen hat.
Taylor ist wahrscheinlich am besten für seine James Marwood & Cat Lovett-Reihe bekannt, die Leser mit ihren spannenden Erzählungen und historischen Kulissen in den Bann gezogen hat. Neben dieser Reihe hat Taylor auch eigenständige Romane wie The Office of the Dead (2000) und The American Boy (2003) verfasst, die beide große Anerkennung gefunden haben.
Taylors Beiträge zum Genre haben ihm zahlreiche Auszeichnungen eingebracht, darunter den Cartier Diamond Dagger Award für Lebensleistung in diesem Genre. Sein Roman The Anatomy of Ghosts wurde außerdem für den Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year nominiert. Trotz seiner vielen Erfolge bleibt Taylor jedoch ein bescheidener und engagierter Schriftsteller, der sich der Schaffung ansprechender und nachdenklicher Romane widmet, die Leser auf der ganzen Welt fesseln.
