My new Murder Most Unladylike short story, The Case of the Missing Treasure, will be out on the 5th of July EXCLUSIVELY from Waterstones.

To celebrate, I’ll be visiting Waterstones Oxford on Saturday 7th July at 11am to sign copies of The Case of the Missing Treasure and all of my other books, and to talk to you about the Murder Most Unladylike series.

The event is free, so anyone can come along!

It’s World Book Week 2024, and I know a lot of you are dressing up as my detectives! It’s very easy to do – really, all you need to do is spruce up your usual school uniform with a tie, a hat, a crest or badge, a notebook and a magnifying glass.
The US edition of Cream Buns and Crime will publish on April 23 from Simon Kids, and ahead of that we’ve had the most wonderful review from Kirkus, the most trusted book review body in the US.
Ten years after Murder Most Unladylike first published in the UK, it’s amazing to see that it’s still arriving in new territories – and the latest addition is one I’m particularly pleased about, Spanish! El Crimen es Cosa de Damas has just published from Editorial Alma, translated by Andrea Montero Cusset. It’s out now, available in all good bookstores and online, and the sequel is on the way soon!
My first event of 2024 has been announced: I’m coming to Oxford Central Library on the 9th of March for a free event in partnership with Daunt’s Summertown.

  1. Hi Robin!
    I am so excited for this short story! I think the idea is wonderful. Will you be coming to other places for signings? If you are then please come to Birmingham because you have many fans here! ??

    1. I’m not sure if I’ll be doing any more for Missing Treasure, but I’ll definitely be touring properly again for Book 7!!

          1. Your welcome, I have all the books and audiobooks, and I wish the MMU series was a TV show, it would be great! I’m going through a 1930s phase, and I can’t stop reading your books!

        1. I am, Tara! We’re planning it at the moment – so far I know I’ll be in Newcastle, Norwich, London and Cambridge!

  2. I wish I could go but the Waterstones in Oxford is almost 3 hours away! Plus I have a music lessons 40 minutes before so I can’t make it?Are you going anywhere else for book signings?

    1. Oh no! I’m sorry. I will definitely be doing more signings in the autumn for Book 7 – there will be plenty of chances to meet me!

    1. You won’t on July 5th – it’ll only be on the Waterstones website/ in stores for a while (you can absolutely order it online from there though!). I do understand that fans all over the world want to read it, and I know that in future it will be more widely available.

  3. I wish the signing was in Liverpool, because Oxford is 3 hours away, I cant go, which is a shame because I do so love your books. And I think that you should keep going with the books!

  4. I wish you could come to Liverpool, I do so love your books! Since I cannot come to signing 🙁 I will ask the question now, are you going to write another murder? Because I have may ideas!

    1. Hi Tara, I know that lots of people want me to visit Liverpool and Leeds, and I’m going to do my best to get up to you later this year!

      I am definitely going to write another murder story, I’ll be revealing more about that soon …

      1. Great, just afternoon I sent that comment, I realised you were doing death in the spotlight, I’ve already preordered it!
        I’m tired today, because i can’t get to sleep cause I’m thinking about what will happen, and I keep thinking Hazel x Alex

        1. I’m so pleased you’ve ordered it already – thank you! And I think you’ll be pleased with what’s in it!

          1. Ooooh! So excited for your book and does that mean it’ll be Hazel and Alex? Because I read that it had lots of romance, so that’s what I thought! Will George x Daisy happen?

  5. I really want to go but I live in rutland so its a bit far. You have inspired me to want to be a murder detective one day.

    1. Wow, thank you Tilly! I will be in Cambridge in October, and at the Broughton Hall Lit Fest in September, in case you can make those?

  6. I hope to come to a book signing for death in the spotlight, because i love acting.

  7. I hate it but love it when a book is left on a cliffhanger! And tomorrow (Thursday) is my last day of school! I’ll be going into yr five

  8. Hi Robin,
    For your book 7 signings do you think you would be able to come to to the Waterstones in Watford as you have many detectives here! ??✒️

    1. Hi Elke and Helena, I’m not sure I’ll be able to come to Watford but I know I’m going to do a North London signing in October!

  9. Hi Robin!
    Not sure if you remember me, but I was the one who wanted to get a photo with you but couldn’t find my mum who had her phone in the reading at Westgate Library. I have a question about this book. I tried to order it on Amazon, but nothing came up. Do you know why?

    Ps I love your MMU series and own every one, my favourite is either a Spoonful of Murder (I love the plot) or First Class Murder (mysterious and interesting)!!!

    1. Oh, hello Molly! I remember, and I’m so happy you’re such a fan! The reason why it’s not up on Amazon is that you can only get it through the Waterstones website at the moment. You can definitely order it from there, though!

  10. I love your books and I am coming to the bookfest at my school today 23rd march 2019, at the bluecoat school birmingham!
