Can recommend, really enjoyed The Other People
Hi all. My lovely new book, THE OTHER PEOPLE, is out now in paperback. The Times called it one of their Crime Novels of the Year and obviously I agree. If you'd like to read it, please do. I think you'd enjoy it. Sorry, but I may be banging on about this for a while.

With the engagement on my blog and on social media languishing in the doldrums, it was a complete joy to receive this message. I've always said that if one of my reviews makes even just one person seek out a book for themselves I'm happy, so good to know it's worked! ❤

Aside from being scruffy northerners, we've built our reputation on the strength of our historical fiction the last couple of years.
Well, we also love the weird and wonderful as well! Have you had a look at any of these 2025 releases yet?

Faber has decided to delay UK publication of the new instalment of ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME until 20 November - two days after the US release - which shouldn't annoy me (I know it's a gimmick), but I was looking forward to reading in sympathy with Tara Selter on 18 November this year #BookSky
