I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to announce that the American edition of my third book, First Class Murder, has just been nominated in the Juvenile category at the 2018 Edgar Awards!

The Edgar Awards are awards for the best crime novels in America, and being on an Edgars list has been a dream that I never really thought would come true. That it’s happened for one of my very favourite books in my series is absolutely amazing – I’m so proud!

The award ceremony will be at the end of April, and I’m crossing my fingers – but I’m just happy to be part of such a strong shortlist. Congratulations to all of my fellow shortlistees, and thank you to the Edgar Awards and my American publishers Simon and Schuster!
