Shortlist - Children 2024

I just got the very nice news that The Body in the Blitz, the second Ministry of Unladylike Activity book, has been shortlisted for the CrimeFest Best Crime Novel for Children Award 2024! It’s really exciting to be noticed by one of the biggest crime fiction conferences in the UK – I’m really proud, and so pleased to be on the list with so many books and authors I admire.

The ceremony is in May, in Bristol, and I’m very excited about it – it’s great to have a whole weekend to celebrate crime fiction!
