NBCC member Robert Allen Papinchak interviewed @alexpavesi.bsky.social‬ ("Ink Ribbon Red") [email protected]‬:

The author’s latest, ‘Ink Ribbon Red’ (Holt, July), is a mind-boggling mystery about a group of friends who gather to play a game in which they imagine each other’s murders.

Ink Ribbon Red, my second novel, is now out in paperback in the UK. Here are some of my favourite lines (quote cards made by my wonderful US publisher - the book is out in the US next month):

A quote from the novel Ink Ribbon Red by Alex Pavesi. “Phoebe had never seen bullets up close before; to her, they looked like fetal mushrooms, or primitive chess pieces.”

A quote from the novel Ink Ribbon Red by Alex Pavesi. “After hanging up the phone, Marcin stamped on the accelerator. But he couldn't escape everyone else's bad driving, no matter how fast he went.”

A quote from the novel Ink Ribbon Red by Alex Pavesi. ‘"Grief," said Anatol, with a surge of enthusiasm. "Grief is an awkward portmanteau of guilt, regret and disbelief.
Because those are its three main ingredients."’

A quote from the novel Ink Ribbon Red by Alex Pavesi. “A heavy, late-morning mist lay on the landscape. Every blade of grass looked haunted.”

Again: Britain (not just this government but all of the recent ones) has a problem with knowledge work. Fishing, steel are manly proper jobs with a Victorian sense of place and history. Creative industries & HE are treated as secondary; derided or ignored.

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse.

A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

Sarah May @sarahmay1.bsky.social · Apr 12

British Steel employs 3.6k people. Coventry Uni group, which auditors say may not survive, employs 7.7k. But there is an emergency debate in parliament for British Steel and nothing for the whole HE sector imploding

Absolutely adore Alex’s deft, brilliantly intricate novels (treat yourself to Eight Detectives or Ink Ribbon Red if you haven’t already) so this has made my Monday.

I've just finished Death at the White Hart, by @chrischibnall.bsky.social, a top-tier murder mystery that is equal parts creepy and compulsive. Out in the UK later this week!

Six days till Death at The White Hart is published in the UK. 📚💙⚡️

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Amused myself with this today (I am easily amused, as we know)

What a fantastic list to be included in ❤️

Ink Ribbon Red by @alexpavesi.bsky.social is another cleverly constructed murder mystery from the author of Eight Detectives.

Don't take my word for it, though, Michael, our resident crime aficionado also loved it.

Email from publisher. Anyone think this is okay ? No, it’s not okay. I’ve spent more money on promo than they’ve sent me royalties. Whereas, the audiobook rights are mine and have paid me way more. This is such a c%nt email.

I would say The Sound and The Fury but it's definitely the less accessible of the two.
