World Book Day

One week to go until World Book Day 2025!

There are lots of ways to get involved with World Book Day – it’s all about sharing the joy of reading, and you don’t have to do anything apart from that! – but if you are going to dress up next week and you want to look like one of my characters, I’ve got you covered! I handily designed Daisy and Hazel’s uniform to look similar to a lot of British school uniforms – all you’ll need is a hat and a magnifying glass and you’re good to go!

Mistletoe and Murder

Happy holidays from the Detective Society!

2024 has been very special for me and my books – it’s marked the ten year anniversary of Murder Most Unladylike, and ten years of my life as a published author. I know I say this a lot, but I feel so very lucky to have had the decade that I’ve had, and to have had so many readers discover my books. I personally think I have the very best fans in the world, a group of people Daisy and Hazel would be proud to know. I’ve loved being even a small part of your lives and your reading journeys, and I’ve loved everything you’ve shared with me about what my books mean to you. So, whether you’re a new or long-standing Detective Society member, thank you!
