Thanks Apple Books for picking #TheGuestList as your audiobook of the week!

Very late to the party but banned myself from the internet yesterday to get latest book draft in 😵‍💫🤪🤪… absolutely THRILLED #TheParisApartment is on the Theakston Brewery Theakstons Festival Harrogate Festivals Longlist alongside books by so many of my crime & thriller heroes!

Listening to a lot of The Doors so it’s got to be late draft stage.
“Break on through to the other side…”

Week number 7 at number 1 in Ireland. This never gets less exciting. THANK YOU so much to all of the booksellers and all of the readers who have taken Sally to heart. I’m so glad you love her as much as I do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️And thanks and congratulations to Disha Bose for the photo!

Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦 As main literary characters go...

Jules and Will ✅️
Miranda ✅️
Jess ❌️

Connor would pay and loudly argue that it somehow represents liberty, Kendall would pay and claim he hadn't, Roman and Shiv would dismiss it, Tom would pay and cringe while everyone mocks him, and Greg would pay and cancel and pay again.

Logan would tell Musk to fuck off.

I would be very much here for a separate thread including characters from The Wire, The West Wing & Succession…

Please join my new game: rating literary characters by whether or not they would have paid for a blue tick.

Mr Wickham = tick
Darcy = no tick
Jay Gatsby = tick
Madam Bovary = tick
Matilda Wormwood = no tick

And in the lobby of the BBC a woman next to me said, “Sorry to bother you but—” and then look what she pulled from her bag (my first sighting in the wild!) (her name is Maureen)

We did it eventually. I hate technology, but we got it working. Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦 was the soul of kindness and it was so nice to talk crime fiction, and writing, and saunas by the lake.

Quick reminder that tomorrow night I am doing an Instagram Live with lovely Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦. The jeopardy here comes from the fact that I am entirely new to Insta, and don’t really understand how this will work. So tune in to find out!

Don't forget that this week Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦 and Stig Abell will be chatting on Instagram Live about all things crime-thriller fiction.

Head over to Lucy's instagram (lucyfoleyauthor) on Wednesday at 7pm!📚

Excited to talk to Stig Abell about #DeathUnderALittleSky over on Instagram next week. Tune in if you’re looking for your next great read or just fancy hearing us chat about our favourite thrillers, heroes of the genre and top tips for writing crime:
