Competition: Murder Most Unladylike and Arsenic for Tea in Polish!

June 5, 2017

Great news for Polish murder mystery fans! My first two books, Murder Most Unladylike and Arsenic for Tea, have just been published in Poland by Grupa MAC.

They’ve got their own take on Nina Tara’s iconic illustrations – I love how they look, and I particularly love the little bird detail on Murder Most Unladylike. I feel like it might be a robin …

And if you live in Poland or speak Polish, I’ve got a competition for you! Comment below or on my Instagram account before 12th June and you could WIN one of three sets of the books.

Powodzenia!

Update: the competition is OVER! Congratulations to monbaum, ptasia.cosniecos and xxmiss.daphne on Instagram – and thanks to everyone who entered!
