Hello Detectives! Today is the 12th of September, which means there’s just ONE MONTH TO GO until the second book in my new series, The Body in the Blitz, is published!

And today I have a very special treat for you – an extract from the second chapter of the book. Nuala and May are on their way to London, to do important work for the Ministry … but what and who will they find when they get there?

If you’re excited to read more, please do pre-order – from Waterstones, from Blackwell’s, from Eason, from Amazon or from your local indie (please contact them directly – some of them may even be getting in the special indies-only version of the cover!). If you’d like a signed copy, watch this space – I should have an announcement about that on this website in the next few days.

And if you’d like to meet me this autumn, check out my calendar! I’ve got events in Ilkley, Oxfordshire, Lincoln, London, Manchester and Newcastle up already, and more will be added in the next few weeks.

Finally, remember to sign up to my newsletter if you haven’t yet – newsletter members got this extract yesterday, and they’re always the first to know about exciting news from the world of my books.
