The Mulgray Twins

(born 1939 - ) - Joppa, Edinburgh

Helen and Morna Mulgray are twin sisters from Edinburgh who live and write together. They were born ten minutes apart in Edinburgh, and both studied at the University of Edinburgh. Both also became teachers in Midlothian, though at separate schools.

Although they had tried to write romantic fiction in the 1980s, it wasn't until 2007 that their first book, the quirky crime novel No Suspicious Circumstances, was published. The novels, which are often set in Scotland, feature undercover Customs investigator D.J. Smith and a trained sniffer-cat called Gorgonzola.

Their most recent novel, Suspects All!, is set in Madeira, a favourite holiday destination of the twins.
