I’m excited to say that The Body in the Blitz is publishing in paperback this October!

I’m so thrilled about this – paperback is the format fans have been asking for, and it’s going to fit perfectly in classrooms, in Christmas stockings and on shelves next to the books in my Murder Most Unladylike series.

There will be two beautiful editions to choose from, one with yellow sprayed edges and then a special edition for independent bookstores with green sprayed edges and a die cut cover. We’ve updated the cover to match the paperback of Ministry of Unladylike Activity and added in some really lovely endpapers from my illustrator Jan Bielecki – this is a very beautiful book!

There is a signed edition available for pre-order too – and remember that I’ll be doing a tour this autumn, all across the UK and Ireland, so you can meet me and get your book signed in person! We’re finalising plans at the moment, and the events will be up on my calendar and my social media as soon as they’re confirmed. So keep an eye out!
