Annie Haynes (1865-unknown) was an English mystery novelist, primarily known for her long-running Inspector Stoddart and Inspector Furnival detective series. Little is definitively known about Haynes's life, with records suggesting she was born in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and experienced a difficult childhood marked by her father's abandonment. Her writing style focused on classic Victorian-era mystery tropes, featuring intricate plots, amateur sleuths, and atmospheric settings. Haynes's works were initially published in the early 20th century and later re-released by Dean Street Press in 2015.
