KD Sherrinford is a multi-award-winning international author from Preston, Lancashire, now living on the Fylde Coast with her family. A passionate reader from an early age, she was inspired by classic mystery writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, reading the complete Sherlock Holmes canon by just 13.
Her acclaimed debut novel, Song for Someone, was inspired by a visit to the Sherlock Holmes Museum in 2019 and marked the beginning of her popular Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler Mystery series. The series has since gained international recognition, with multiple award wins and nominations, including the Chanticleer International Book Awards and CIBA Series Awards.
KD's fourth novel, The Whistle of Revenge (2025), continues her success, earning critical acclaim and recognition from major literary awards. When she's not writing, KD draws inspiration from music—particularly composers like Beethoven and Wagner—which often influences her storytelling.
So happy to announce that book 3 of my multi-award-winning Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler Mysteries, the enthralling MEET ME IN MILAN, is now live on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.
Beautifully narrated by the very talented Eva Marie. Her interpretation of Irene Adler is quite simply stunning.
I have a few free promo codes available for the USA and the UK only. Please DM me before Sunday if you would like one.
