The 'chilling' (Flynn Berry) and 'powerful' (Leïla Slimani) new novel from Samira Sedira asks how a seemingly 'normal' person could commit such an atrocious crime. 🔪👀 PEOPLE LIKE THEM hits bookshelves next week! bit.ly/2OJrU6g

'...All the more shocking, then, when the curtain of domesticity is pushed aside to reveal the man in the black ski mask standing outside the window.' So very very grateful for this beautifully written review of #NorthernSpy by Tom Nolan in the WSJ. wsj.com/articles/myste…

10 days left to apply for this fellowship! Time and support (an all-expenses-paid retreat, mentorship, marketing, and 💰) for unpublished, underrepresented women writers to get their first book out into the world. 📚📚📚reesesbookclub.com/litup

I loved being on this panel in the winter, excited to hear from these brilliant authors and editors tonight. 📚📚📚eventbrite.com/e/buzz-editors…

I just did a zoom book talk with 100+ ppl and my mother came on and wrote this in the comments:

Really delighted to see Northern Spy in this week's New York Times Book Review, in Sarah Lyall's column. nytimes.com/2021/04/09/boo…

I wrote an essay for CrimeReads on women and the IRA. Feels surreal to reread with what has been happening in Belfast this week. #NorthernIreland crimereads.com/the-hidden-his…

An 'ache under her ribs' is the best description I've ever heard of the urge to write (also feel it while reading something really good). From the queen, Diana Athill.

v sad to see these scenes again in Belfast

everyone knew that Brexit was going to be a disaster for N Ireland economically & politically

but it cd have been mitigated w massive investment

instead one of the most deprived areas of W Europe has been made much worse

If you want to know or to understand more about what’s going on at the minute in Northern Ireland, especially if you’re not from here - there - then this trio of searing, witty, nuanced contemporary books is a pretty good place to start...

This is my editor. We like each other A LOT.

Book tour this week is with three writers whose books I love. Adrian McKinty (this was last night and so much fun), Elizabeth Wetmore, and Abigail Dean
