It seems like someone at the Telegraph must be a Mistletoe and Murder fan!
On Saturday I was astonished to see that Mistletoe and Murder was in the Telegraph’s Top 50 – not of children’s books, but of all books released this year. It was one of five (along with Beetle Boy by MG Leonard, I’ll Wait, Mr Panda by Steven Lenton, The Secret of Nightingale Wood by Lucy Strange and The Power of Dark by Robin Jarvis). I never get tired of saying that a good children’s book is just a good book, without an upper age limit, and I’m delighted that the Telegraph support that idea.
The review is lovely: ‘Schoolgirl high-jinks abound in this whodunit for children, set in Thirties Cambridge. There’s a whiff of Agatha Christie as chums Daisy and Hazel must hunt down a killer.’
But even MORE lovely was the surprise I got when we bought the paper: Mistletoe and Murder‘s cover was featured on the FRONT page!
My book in the news! Telegraph, 26th November 2016
And finally, I got to see Mistletoe and Murder one more time as part of a lovely interview with blogger and Detective Society member Mango Bubbles. He’s snuck it in as part of the towering book pile he’s been photographed with (as well as Mystery and Mayhem – thank you Mango!). If you haven’t heard of Mango or his website, go check it out – he’s doing a brilliant thing, and he’s always looking for new young reviewers. I know lots of my Detective Society members would love to join in!
Hi Robin,
Excellent news, this is really great. I can not believe that it is December the first tomorrow!
Hi Robin!
The cover for this blog was MMU in German! I am so excited a) I am moving to Germany this Summer so I wont miss out on your books and b) I can FINALLY get my german cousin to read it!!!
That’s so cool that you’re moving to Germany! I hope you really enjoy it. Only the first two of my books are out in Germany so far but they are bringing more out very quickly. They should soon have the whole set!
