We're in a golden age of crime fiction, we really are. I've read some amazing stuff recently that's bending the genre into entirely new shapes, but the standouts so far are Chris Whitaker and Chris Brookmyre. Their new ones are astonishing. Awards will rain down.
I’ve just finished Displeasure Island by Alice Bell and it’s fucking delightful. The mystery trips you up every ten pages, the characters feel like mates, and it’s effortlessly funny - which is so hard to do. I adored this. It deserves to be enormous!
Doors open in 40 minutes.
Stuart Turton! Tonight! 6pm!
Come along (tickets can be bought on the door) and watch Stu Turton leap through rings of fire!
I'm doing an event in Swansea on Thursday night. I shall be twenty feet tall. I shall juggle fire. I shall wreath myself in clouds, and wear the sun for a hat. I will be mighty. I'm not sure what Elaine Canning is planning to do, but I've heard she drinks lava. Come along.
Awesome book by my mate C. J. Tudor . Bit crime, bit horror, bit social commentary. I tore through it in a couple of days. Reckon you’ll love it, pals.
Still gutted that The Times and The Sunday Times didn't print the Bestseller List yesterday. Forget pride, loads of people use it to buy books and that's how I keep my kids in blueberries. If you liked Last Murder please drop it a review, or recommend it. I'll be your best friend. Sincerely, sad Stu.
I’ve had a blast on tour this week. Thanks to everybody who came out, asked a question, and laughed at my daft jokes. It’s been fun. If you’re interested in a bit of Last Murder lore I did this lovely interview for Waterstones with my pal Will William Rycroft. I wave my hands a lot
I’ll be having a chat this evening at York Literature Festival 📚 in York. Apparently, I’ll be appearing in The Basement. Please come along. I think I’m being very politely kidnapped and I’d quite like witnesses.
