A Spoonful of Murder – publication day tour and events!

February 9, 2018

ASOM Village Books

A Spoonful of Murder is officially out now, and to celebrate its release yesterday I went on a whistle-stop bookshop tour all around London.

I visited 16 bookshops in 9 hours and signed more books than I could count. It was amazing to meet so many booksellers who love the series, and I feel incredibly lucky!

Below are some of my favourite pictures from the day – as you can see, I had an amazing time!

If you want to meet me and get your book signed, there are lots of chances. I’ll be at …
