Absolutely loved A QUEER CASE from Robert Holtom which is coming out 3rd June ❤️
In the novel, the queer world of 1920s London is wonderfully evoked and the murder mystery contained is twisty and brilliant!

Took my book back to the scene of the crime! 🔎
Death on the Pier is my golden-age historical crime novel set in the world of 1930s theatre. At the time of my book, there was still a theatre at the end of the Palace Pier.

📖 All good books need a bookmark!
Now what to do with them all… Any authors have tips?
I presume it’s frowned upon to pop in to Waterstones and slip one into each of the top 20 books? 😂
