So happy to see The Twelve Murders of Christmas as a Sunday Times pick yesterday - deliciously sandwiched between Murdle and the Official Agatha Christie Puzzle Book
Thank you for such a lovely warm welcome - and excellent coffee!
Lovely @sarahdeewrites.bsky.social popped into the shop today to sign copies of her brilliant book The 12 Murders of Christmas.
A very special evening
@BookCornerHX last night.

A lovely crowd braved wind and rain to hear me, JM Hall and Mark Wright talk about cosy crime at Christmas

Do you like to tackle puzzles in your crime fiction reads?

I've written a piece about this perennially popular pairing in The CWA 'Red Herrings' magazine.

And yes there is a puzzle!
