Happy 4th birthday, Murder Most Unladylike!

June 5, 2018

MMU 4th birthday

Today is a big milestone – Murder Most Unladylike is FOUR YEARS OLD!

On the 5th of June 2014, the first book in my series was published for the very first time.

I can honestly say that I never thought that anyone would still care about Murder Most Unladylike four years later, and it is absolutely overwhelming to me to see how very wrong I was. Four years to the day after Daisy and Hazel first appeared on the scene, I’m working on the seventh book in the series, and I’m hearing from fans all over the world who love my detectives as much as I do.

So thank you to all of my readers, thank you to booksellers and librarians and teachers and family and friends, and the BIGGEST thank you to the people who support the series every day, my agent Gemma Cooper and my team at Puffin Books.

I’m a very lucky author!
