Happy American Book Birthday, First Class Murder!

April 4, 2017

FCM launch

It’s my book birthday in the USA! First Class Murder (the US edition of Daisy and Hazel’s third adventure) is finally out in hardback, and Poison is Not Polite (the US edition of Arsenic for Tea, Daisy and Hazel’s second adventure) is now out in paperback. I’m so pleased and happy – I know American fans have been waiting for this, and I’m really glad the wait is finally over. The book looks absolutely gorgeous – it’s illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley, and I’m so proud to see my words in a fancy hardback edition, with a dust jacket and everything!

First Class Murder was one of my favourite books to write, and if you’re in the US or Canada, I really hope you enjoy it! (And if you’re in the UK, do not panic. These are not new stories from me – you got them all the way back in 2015, so you’re way ahead of America!)

To celebrate, I have a very special giveaway. US and Canadian residents, comment below or on my YouTube video before the 11th of April to WIN one of three signed sets of First Class Murder and Poison is Not Polite. I’ll contact the winners once I’ve chosen them, so please only send me your details then!

Good luck, Detectives!
