MMU Special Edition - Square - Gold

My puzzle book announcement isn’t the only news I have for you today. This is Murder Most Unladylike‘s 10th anniversary year – and we’re celebrating in style!

My publisher Puffin has reissued Murder Most Unladylike in a beautiful gold foil edition, with special Daisy and Hazel sprayed edges, a new introduction from me, and a special short story about Daisy and Hazel’s first meeting from Daisy’s point of view (first published in the 5th anniversary hardback edition and now back for more people to read!).

This is replacing the current edition, so the best way to make sure you get your copy is by going into your local bookstore and picking one up. Stores are already getting their stock, and it should be absolutely everywhere for the 5th of June, which is the official 10th anniversary date!

And, of course, I’ll be back out on the road to mark ten years of MMU. My tour dates are below – as always, if you don’t see something in your area, do not worry. I’m on it, and I’ll be visiting different places in the autumn for the puzzle book tour!
