This afternoon I went on an another author expedition – a visit to Cambridge Waterstones to talk about Murder Most Unladylike. I really can’t get over how brilliant it is to meet readers, and I’m actually more and more convinced that I have the best readers in the world.

Cambridge Waterstones were wonderful hosts. I got a throne (a real author throne!), a sign and a book table.

We created our own detective societies (Timmy the Dog and Doctor Who both featured heavily in the choice of society members, much to my delight) and we also discovered whether we were more like Daisy or Hazel (the result was mostly Hazels, as is often the case – I blame Daisy’s off-putting fondness for squashed fly biscuits). Then I read from Murder Most Unladylike and talked a bit about why I wrote the book and what’s next for my heroines.

All in all, a very excellent afternoon!
