| More finished copies arrived this week - the debut adult crime novel by David Fennell, The Art of Death (February 2021, Zaffre Books). This is the beginning of a gripping new series, set in London, with DI Grace Archer at the helm. Perfect for fans of Chris Carter, M. W. Craven and Alex North (The Whisper Man). We were delighted to see a new endorsement for this fab page-turner, from Susi Holliday: "A serial killer classic in the making, The Art of Death is neatly plotted, perfectly paced and brilliantly characterised with a clever concept that hooks you in and holds you tight, right up to the extremely satisfying final page." |  |

If you're looking for a new podcast to get stuck into, look no further.
Additionally, Murmurs, the BBC audio drama Chris and Jen wrote an episode of, has been shortlisted for the BBC Audio Awards. Congratulations, both!
