Mistletoe and Murder: it’s competition time!

Hello, Detective Society members!

Today, as promised, I have a very exciting competition for you. Mistletoe and Murder, Daisy and Hazel’s fifth adventure, is out in the UK and Ireland in just NINE DAYS. You can pre-order it on Amazon or Waterstones, or from your local independent bookshop through Hive.

But, if you just can’t wait for the 20th, you might be in luck. I have THREE beautifully red copies sitting on my desk in need of loving homes, and all you have to do to win them is tell me in a comment what your perfect Christmas present would be.

This competition is now closed. I have had some INCREDIBLE entries. You made me laugh and cry, and I wish I could send each one of you a copy of my book! However, there can be only three winners, and they are …

ROSA, who wants to go on the Orient Express as much as I do

OLIVE, whose pink book-pooing poodle made me cry with laughter

BELLA, who wants to go back in time to the 1930s (and also have a library just like Beauty and the Beast, a personal goal of mine)

I will also be giving out four small runner-up prizes to the following people:

FLORENCE, who shares a birthday with Mistletoe and Murder

TITA, who would like to go on an adventure with Daisy and Hazel

MOLLY, who can’t find a good notebook for her Detective Society

LILLY (from Instagram), who really, really wants some detective badges

If you are one of the above people, please send me your address – and if you’re not, I’m sorry! The standard of entries was really high and I loved each one of them. I’ll be holding more competitions in the future, so please do enter then.

Merry Christmas!
