The first part of the Top Marks for Murder tour finished on a high!

Last weekend I visited two cities, Birmingham and London, and held two fantastic Top Marks for Murder signings. Thank you to everyone who came along, and especially to booksellers Jamie-Lee and Sue for organising the events!

With a fan at Foyles Birmingham
With two fans at Waterstones Finchley Road, London
With a fan in London – who brought me two beautiful Hazel and Daisy models she’d made herself!

It was so wonderful to meet so many brilliant readers, and to hear your stories about what the books mean to you. I met a fan who owns a bearded dragon called Holmes, fans who are writing their own murder mysteries because of Murder Most Unladylike and some incredibly talented artists who gave me pieces inspired by Daisy and Hazel.

The event in London was my last August Top Marks for Murder … but don’t worry, it’s not the end of my events this year! I’m taking a month off to work on some writing, and then I’ll be back in October and November with an exciting, international programme of events. Cheltenham and Bath festivals have been announced already, but that’s just the beginning. I’ll be able to tell you more soon … just keep watch on my website calendar!
