Look at this beauty! Third in the Cal chronicles and I can tell you - it’s brilliant!

By coincidence, #TheSixthLie by Sarah Ward is set in Pembrokeshire at St David’s, which is exactly where I am on holiday.
So I had to take some photos!
This is a fab read, with smart relatable characters.

Come for the murder and stay for the errant Labradors and the Sweaty Betty mums (we all know at least one…), #TheDeadFriendProject had me snorting out loud one moment then covering my mouth with my hands the next. Brilliant fun.

Just finished this brilliantly disturbing thriller. If you like fast-paced thrillers with complex characters… and, of course, serial killers… then this one’s for you. Out in May! Huge thanks to Sam Holland & HarperCollinsUK

It’s 📚ONE MONTH! 📚 until we unleash this little terror on the world!

End of the week update: hovering around the mid-point but not quite there yet. But the story is coming together in a wonderfully gruesome way. Bit of a pause now for holiday… and some more plotting.

And finally... here is a little bit more about #ThePuppetMaster ! It's the 3rd in the series but can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. Cara, Griffin and Jamie are back, with a new horrifying case to solve. It's out 9th May, but you can preorder here: smarturl.it/ThePuppetMaster

Another brilliant book by Sam Holland following DCI Cara Elliott as she is challenged to find a serial killer who has emerged in the strangest and most subtle of ways. Pacy and taut, and with such brilliantly drawn relationships. HarperFiction

Can’t wait to chat with C. J. Tudor about all the lovely dark stuff!

Nothing better/more terrifying than the prospect of an author you admire reading your work...

Loved chatting with Louisa Hannan this lunchtime about what I'm up to lately, plus we discuss my recommendations of #FiveNights by Rachel Wolf Author and #AStrangerintheFamily by Jane Casey Both fantastic books!
