Death Sets Sail Article Round-Up

September 1, 2020

Guardian 29 8 20

I’m back from my holidays, and catching up on all of your messages and emails. It’s so nice to hear that you’ve been enjoying Death Sets Sail – and so lovely to read all of the mentions it’s been getting in the press!

Imogen Russell Williams chose Death Sets Sail for her Guardian round-up last weekend. She calls it:

A triumphant conclusion to a satisfying, wide-ranging series that deserves to be read for years to come.

Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian, 29th August 2020

Alice Nuttall also mentions Death Sets Sail in her list of Eight Kids’ Books with Best Friend Teams for Book Riot, saying:

as well as being one of the most brilliant homages to the work of Agatha Christie that I’ve ever seen, it’s a wonderful, if bittersweet, conclusion to the story of two best friends who’ve gone through so much together.

Alice Nuttall, Book Riot, 31st August 2020

And Surrey County Council has picked Death Sets Sail as one of its September Top Ten Reads!
