Jolly Foul Play – it’s in the wild!

March 22, 2016

There are just two days to go before Jolly Foul Play‘s official release, on the 24th of March (Thursday). If you’ve preordered the book, it should be with you on Thursday or Friday, and if you’re looking for the book in a store, it should be everywhere from that day. It will be stocked in WH Smith and Asda, as well as Waterstones and independent bookstores, so it’ll be difficult to miss!

But there’s no official embargo on it, which means that stores can begin selling it before the 24th if their stock arrives, and I’m already seeing some incredible pictures of Murder Most Unladylike Mystery displays across the country.

Here’s Waterstones Salisbury …

And I know the list will grow throughout today and tomorrow!

If you’d like to follow all of the latest sightings of the book in the wild, I’ve created a new Pinterest board for Jolly Foul Play. And if you’d like to send more pictures to me, via Twitter, email or a comment here, I’ll add them to the set.

Good luck hunting down your copy – remember to have a bunbreak once you’ve found it!
