Just Finished @janicehallett.bsky.social 's #TheKillerQuestion - What a joy! An intricate mystery finally solved through the most unexpected medium. Hallett truly never ceases to amaze, challenge and entertain. Funny too😂

Lovely evening at ForumBooks Corbridge for the launch of
Oskar Jensen's fiendishly clever Helle's Hound.
Thanks to Oskar and to Heather for making me so welcome - to @mirandajewess.bsky.social for making it all happen and to whoever provided the fizz 🥂 - thank you too!

Recommended Reads #39 - The Rush by @bethlewis.bsky.social is a hugely compelling insight into the savagery of the Klondike gold rush seen through the eyes of three often brave, sometimes vulnerable and always resilient women. Definitely worth a read⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For reasons I'm not yet allowed to tell you - The Silent Brother - published by @northodoxpress is no longer available for sale. Ginormous thanks to Northodox for their faith, support and all round brilliance.
