August 9, 2018

Happy day! Today I have not one but TWO versions of a book publishing in the UK and Ireland – the paperback and the audio editions of The Guggenheim Mystery, my sequel to Siobhan Dowd‘s amazing The London Eye Mystery.

This is the second book to feature the brilliant detective Ted Spark and his family, and it takes place during a summer holiday to New York. From the official blurb …

My name is Ted Spark. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery.

This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft, and I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.

The paperback edition is of course unchanged from the hardback that came out last August, so if you’ve already read the book then you know what happens! But if you’ve been waiting for your chance to snap up the paperback, then you are in luck.

The audio edition is narrated by the wonderful Jason Forbes, and it is an unabridged (which means no words missing) download. You can’t buy a CD of it, but you can buy it from sites like Audible – and you can also download it for FREE from your local library! If it isn’t there, you are allowed to ask for it.

To celebrate the publication of The Guggenheim Mystery paperback edition, I’m going to give away a copy to one of my website readers. Just comment below by the end of Sunday 12th August saying why you’d like to win, and I’ll choose someone on Monday morning! Please note that you have to live in either the UK or Ireland to enter.
