Book 7: Guess the Colour …

March 20, 2018

question-mark

I’ve got an exciting announcement to make on Friday, Detectives. My next book is publishing on October 4th this year, and it’s a theatre murder mystery!

Daisy and Hazel are solving a terrible crime that takes place during a production of Romeo and Juliet … with a little help from their old friends and rivals the Junior Pinkertons. There’s murder! Mystery! Excitement! Romance! And lots of theatrics! I’m so pleased with this story already, and I think you’re going to love it.

I can’t tell you the title yet – we’re saving that until the cover’s finished, probably in late April or early May. But on Friday I WILL be revealing Book 7’s cover colour – and it’s beautiful!

Can you guess what it’ll be? Let me know below – or check back here on Friday morning to find out!
