German news, cover reveals and competitions!

Yesterday I announced good news for French fans of Daisy and Hazel – and today it’s the turn of German fans.

I’ve already shared pictures of the German edition of Murder Most Unladylike (Mord ist nicht für junge Damen). Its publishers, Knesebeck Verlag, are fantastic supporters of Hazel and Daisy – they originally took the first two titles in the series, but now I’m delighted to announce that they have decided to buy books 3 and 4 as well!

The translation of Book 2 is already in the works, scheduled to publish early 2017 – and I think its title might be my favourite EVER. Arsenic for Tea becomes … Teestunde Mit Todesfall, which translates back into English as Teatime with Fatality.

t-mit-tBrilliant and gorgeous, right?!

And now … it’s competition time! I have just been sent a lovely set of Mord ist nicht für junge Damens, and they need good and loving German-speaking homes. If you would like your own signed copy of Mord ist nicht für junge Damen, and you are German-speaking (preferably living in Germany!), then please comment below with your answer to the question who is your favourite detective?

This competition opens NOW and closes at midnight (London time) on Thursday 20th October.

Good luck! This edition is gorgeous – definitely a worthy prize for any crime lover!
