Amanda Jennings' The Storm picked up a fantastic review, courtesy of Mystery People:

"In The Storm, Amanda Jennings has taken the elements of the psychological thriller and domestic noir, and woven them into an unputdownable story."

​Full review here.

If you haven't read this gripping book on coercive control and the consequences of mistakes past, what are you doing still read this?? Go and buy a copy!


At long last, the news is out regarding David Fennell's deal with Zaffre Books, along with a spine-chilling cover reveal.

In a deal negotiated by David Headley, Katherine Armstrong bought UK & Commonwealth Rights (excluding Canada) for The Art of Death, which sees Fennell's first outing with DI Grace Archer. It is due to publish in February. 

The novel opens in Trafalgar Square, with the discovery of three glass cabinets containing the corpses of homeless men. Archer, who is leading the investigation, comes to learn that the killer has her set in his sights too.

M. W. Craven's The Curator, the third in his Washington Poe series, has had Czech Republic rights sold to Dobrovsky, the same home as the first two: The Puppet  Show and Black Summer.


Climbing up the charts from its no.10 position last week, Private Moscow, written by James Patterson and client Adam Hamdy has risen to no.8.

We're welcoming a new client to DHH this week.

Judith Parker joins Hannah Sheppard's list and we're doubly delighted as Judith's joining us, as she was one of our pitchers at Pitch DHH: York back in 2018. 

Currently Judith is an actress and also works in the education sector, after having worked in administration for Children's and Young People's Services. Earlier this year, Judith was longlisted for the Hachette Children's Northern Writers' Award. She lives in County Durham and is working on her first book.


Sunset Over the Cherry Orchard by Jo Thomas has been sold to Moravská Bastei MOBA in the Czech Republic.

Finally, and some of the most exciting news to start the week with:

CBS Studios has struck a global first-look deal with Greg Silverman's Stampede Ventures International and has set its first project - an adaptation of Ragnar Jónasson's best-selling Nordic Noir book, The Darkness.  

The series will be eight parts, and takes it setting from the book: Reykjavík in Iceland. It follows Hermansdóttir, who is given two weeks before retirement to solve the cold case of a young Russian woman whose body washes up on the Icelandic shore. Hulda discovers that another young woman vanished at the same time, and that no one is telling her the whole story. 

Stay turned for more on this exciting news, but in the meantime, congratulations, Ragnar!
