I thought the last book by @mwcraven.bsky.social was the best crime book I’d read but then he only goes and writes this. Just brilliant. The man’s a genius 🤩

Great episode of Read and Buried with @mwcraven.bsky.social and I'm definitely NOT only saying this because he says some lovely things about Pagans at the end.

Just made a start on this series after seeing so many recommendations. Really enjoyed this introduction to Poe and Tilly and will definitely be reading more. A dark crime thriller with nice touches of humour.

Oh my giddy aunt, woke up to this astonishing news (which I was told about on Tuesday but also told to keep my big fat mouth shut) — THE FINAL VOW has burst into the Sunday Times Top Ten at number 4!
