Hello! Welcome to my website. I write about murder and mystery, and I hope you enjoy it. Come in and find out more about me and the detectives in my books!
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are the stars of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries. Murder Most Unladylike (Murder is Bad Manners in the USA), Arsenic for Tea (Poison is Not Polite in the USA), First Class Murder, Jolly Foul Play, Mistletoe and Murder, the Cream Buns and Crime series companion, A Spoonful of Murder, Death in the Spotlight, Top Marks for Murder, Death Sets Sail and my book of Murder Most Unladylike short stories, Once Upon a Crime, are out now in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong and everywhere the Puffin editions are sold.
May Wong has returned with her new friends Eric and Nuala as the heroes of my newest series the Ministry of Unladylike Activity! Ministry is also out in German, and it will publish in Italian and Polish in 2024. And its sequel, The Body in the Blitz, is out now in the UK and Ireland!
I’ve also written The Guggenheim Mystery, which stars Ted Spark. It’s the sequel to Siobhan Dowd’s The London Eye Mystery, and it is also out now!
Cream Buns and Crime, my Murder Most Unladylike companion novel, publishes in the US today!
I’ve just added another event to my spring tour! I’m going to be visiting the wonderful Max Minerva’s bookstore in Bristol on the 10th of May at 3:30pm.
2024 is the tenth anniversary of Murder Most Unladylike – and I have a lot of celebrations planned! We’re putting together the final touches to the tour at the moment, and I’ll be able to reveal the full programme soon – but for now, I can announce the very first event on it, an appearance at Hay Festival 2024!
I just got the very nice news that The Body in the Blitz, the second Ministry of Unladylike Activity book, has been shortlisted for the CrimeFest Best Crime Novel for Children Award 2024! It’s really exciting to be noticed by one of the biggest crime fiction conferences in the UK – I’m really proud, and so pleased to be on the list with so many books and authors I admire.
