Hello Detectives! It’s time for my February update video.

Find out more about what copyedits are, watch me get very excited about Hong Kong history (and tell you the story of Ah-Lum and the E-Sing Bakery poisonings) and Book 6’s Teal Reveal, and listen to me tell you about my favourite books from this month (Nightlights by Lorena Alvarez; Who Let the Gods Out by Maz Evans; Bone Gap by Laura Ruby; The Secret Lives of the Amir Sisters by Nadiya Hussain and Ayisha Malik; Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers). Finally, I talk about Hidden Figures and why history is way more than white. Enjoy!
