My thoughts on The Queen of Fives by @alexhaybooks.bsky.social is over on instagram now. I do believe I referred to it as “rip-roaring”. It is, and I loved it!

Reading @alexhaybooks.bsky.social 's The Queen of Fives. It's so much fun-- a twisty Victorian caper with a great female lead. You never know who's going to wink at the reader next.

@alexhaybooks.bsky.social so here's a nice thing for a Thursday. Last year when The Housekeepers came out Alex swung past the shop and signed some books. He was lovely, 1 of the customers he met that day thought so too. She came back today, all she could remember was how nice the author was

Scratch the stucco and dark secrets lurk... I've written a piece for @crimereads.bsky.social about posh London, and why Belgravia and Mayfair make a great setting for a murder mystery. Thanks @alexhaybooks.bsky.social and @cazengland.bsky.social for lovely quotes. crimereads.com/why-posh-lon...
