Would you like to meet DI Derwent for 99p? Book 2 of the Maeve Kerrigan series, an absolute bargain for Kindle readers and the start of *something* between Maeve and Josh. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0B3RJ…

What a lovely idea! More silent reading parties please 🙏

Enjoying my first Elly Griffiths in preparation for #HCFW this coming August. Richard Coles is next and then Kia Abdullah. Working through the writers who are new to me before returning to Billingham, Johnstone, and Mir.

Brilliant book post from Russ Thomas 🇺🇦 and Simon & Schuster

Thanks to Lisa (she/her) for reminding me what a cracking series this is.

#SleepingDogs is out now

Had such a big to-do list today but simply CANNOT put this book down. I blame you, Lucie Whitehouse !! #readingbinge #noir #literary #thriller

Forced to change 'who can reply' to my previous tweet due to the abuse. Don't have the time to block all the froth.

Crime writers! Have you ever made a reader playlist to accompany your novel? If so, please drop the link below. I'm looking for examples for my St Hilda's Crime Fiction Weekend talk later this year. Thank you! 🙏🏽

Oh this is lovely! Always wanted to be in the charts at this beautiful bookshop

Well, Lucie Whitehouse this was a bloody emotional read! Not sure I’ll ever recover…! #LastWitness Orion Publishing Orion Crime #amreading

Special congratulations to our #HCFW speakers, and our Committee members, past and present
