Sunday morning, spent with strong coffee and a good book.

Just finished this from @alexandrakbenedict.bsky.social and loved it. It’s a real page-turner.

Clever, witty, and gripping.

(So, what next from my ever-expanding TBR pile?)

Happiest of publication days to the wonderful @alexandrakbenedict.bsky.social! LITTLE RED DEATH is a mind-twister of a thriller, picturesque, tricksy and enchanting. Enter the woods of fiction...

www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Red-D...
Square picture with gothic-styled woods illustrations around a circle of quotations, at the centre of which is the heading, 'AK Benedict, Little Red Death.' Slogan: Once upon a time, someone was about to die. Quotes: 'An exquisite puzzle of a crime thriller' - Janice Hallet 'Witty, sly and wickedly clever' - Kit Whitfield (yes, that's me) 'A serpentine novel' - Charlotte Bond 'Layer after layer of intrigue' - Andrea Mara 'Mind-bendingly clever' - Claire McGowan 'AK Benedict is a master of this darkest art' - Janice Hallett
