A rare London outing for myself, even rarer for @ambroseparry.bsky.social, but with @damedenisemina.bsky.social and @allangaw.bsky.social in the mix, the @standrewsbookfest.bsky.social should be a stoater.

First look at the cover for Quite Ugly One Evening, the new Jack Parlabane novel out in May. It's a locked-room murder mystery set on board a trans-Atlantic liner, and is quite definitely a return to the tone of Quite Ugly One Morning.
