A Spoonful of Murder in Birmingham and Bath

February 26, 2018

What a weekend I’ve had! I went to Birmingham on Saturday and Bath on Sunday, and in both places I met bookshops full of incredible fans.

I can’t believe how many of you came out on such a cold weekend to meet me – it’s so inspirational to talk to you and see how much Daisy and Hazel mean to you. Thank you to everyone who queued in those two amazingly long lines, and thank you to booksellers Jamie and Bex who were the brains behind the two events!

Below are some of my favourite photos from the days. If you’d like to meet me, there’s still plenty of opportunity. My next stop is Blackwell’s Westgate, Oxford on the 10th of March, and after that I’ll be at Durham Waterstones on the 17th!

This fan drew me a beautiful mystery starring Watson!

And finally, this fan got very close to working out the title of Book 7. Can you guess too? …
