Okay, so we have a cover for the next Marlow Murder Club book! What do you think? While you're watching the vid, I'll be popping over to the sideboard to get myself just a small glass of whisky...

Another week on the USA Today Bestseller list! It's so very, very thrilling to know that so many Americans want to spend time with Judith (and therefore, by proxy, my Grandma Betty, Great Aunt Jess, and all of my other dotty female relatives who are in Judith's DNA). Go Team Marlow!

Just found out that Murder on the Marlow Belle is a USA Today bestseller in the States. Yee, as I'm sure no-one actually says, ha! Thank you to EVERYONE who's bought the book, and to the brilliant team at @poisonedpenpress.bsky.social who've helped Judith & Co. find so many new friends in the USA 🇺🇸

A beautiful obit of Cleo Laine in The Times this morning. I spent hours and hours listening to her albums as a teenager. Just adored her. I'm also delighted to report that the Beneath The Line comments absolutely delivered as I hoped they would.

And to end this short flurry of posts, I had a fabulous (best?) outing to CPI Print to sign a bucketload of paperbacks with special sprayed edges (I WILL NOT CALL THEM SPREDGES THIS IS THE HILL I'M DYING ON) for all of the Indie bookshops in the UK. They look GAWJUS. Out on the 19th!

An amazing weekend at Fête du Livre D'Hyères: two full days behind a desk hawking books like a Covent Garden flower girl. I'd have gone mad (we all went a *bit* mad) if I hadn't had the brilliant Valerie Beuf from La Martinière at my side, and the hilarious @abirm.bsky.social across the way.

Posting v late, but it’s been a bit bedlamy finishing book 5 and kicking off series 3 of TMMC at the same time. Had a fab jaunt to New York for the @mysterywriters.bsky.social #Edgars2025. Lost (very happily) to Scott Frank, and hung out with @ianmooreauthor.bsky.social and Steven Sheil. Net win.

Sitting in the sunshine in Uxbridge waiting for my son to take his driving theory test, and really very happy to be keeping company with this fabulous piece of art deco architecture.

Good morning! Today's publication day for MURDER ON THE MARLOW BELLE, which is very much a woohoo moment for me.
If you'd like some woohoo in your life, do please get yourself a copy.

It's how I, and everyone like me on the lowest of the very lowest rungs of writing in the 1990s, all met in London and had the time to try out mad stuff that mostly didn't work but sometimes did (and also have the time to defeat alien invasions in Sim City 2000).

The best day of my writing year is always 'Signing A Bucket Of Books' day at CPI Printers, when I get to see the new book for the first time (which is always ridiculously thrilling). Here are some behind the scene shots. (I'm smiling because I am yet to sit down and sign every single bloody book)

Just recorded a special interview with the phenomenal Nicolette McKenzie to go at the end of the audiobook of ‘Murder on the Marlow Belle’. It was such a thrill for me to put a face to the voice after all these years.
