She then went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then worked at a children's publisher. She spent her teenage years at Cheltenham Ladies’ College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she’d get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn’t). When it occurred to her that she was never going to be able to grow her own spectacular walrus moustache, she decided that Agatha Christie was the more achieveable option. When she was twelve, her father handed her a copy of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and she realised that she wanted to be either Hercule Poirot or Agatha Christie when she grew up. She has been making up stories all her life. Robin was born in California and grew up in an Oxford college, across the road from the house where Alice in Wonderland lived.
